It was a decent book, kind of sad in places but I was expecting more graphic details of the sad parts. I enjoyed it and found the characters relatable but I was hoping for more to happen.

my new FAVOURITE book in the world. check trigger warnings!!!

as someone in their twenties, loves gigs, mentally ill and has no life direction, this book was like reading into my own brain. absolutely beautifully written!

i did have to skip from the end of page 213 -222 though because of triggers :)

A sticky, sickly, melancholy mess, and I mean that in the most positive way possible. Queer characters getting into tricky fucked up relationships, all held together with musical obsession. Great debut.
