Publisher Description
For a guy who loves to travel around playing music, Devon seems to have it made: he’s the bass player for the surging folk-punk band “North By Choice.” After years of grinding away, they’re finally starting to get their due, playing to bigger audiences in new places. When the band hits the big city lights of Berlin after their craziest gig yet, Devon knows he’s living the dream. That is, until things collapse into the agonizing morning after, when Devon begins to question everything. Will he survive the ride?
Customer Reviews
We’re all in a band...
From the moment we meet Dev we’re in his head.
His journey and struggle over the following 24 hours speaks to a reader who experienced mental illness in any capacity. Suelo’s quick wit and real life banter bring the characters to life - they’re our friends by chapter two. Not many of us know what travelling in a touring band is like but he brings us there, and illuminates shared mental experience of highs and lows wherever you are, however you’re moving in life.
A quick, emotional read. My favourite chapters being 6 and 11 for story telling, relatation and circumstance descriptions so clear, so real I felt I was there every aching moment.
