As someone who works in music, I always enjoy reading books surrounding musicians. This book is a quick read but you dont even notice. Best friend's brother but also childhood friends which is one of my favorite tropes. Emily did such an incredible job with how she dealt with the issues Bridger deals with in a way that feels authentic without glamorizing it. There are a few triggers for this book so please thread lightly everyone.
