Publisher Description
From USA Today bestselling author Mazey Eddings comes a dazzling sapphic romance about fame, friendship, and falling for the one person you were never meant to.
Lost. Reckless. In love.
Cubby Clark is the heart of her band—loyal, earnest, and determined to make music that matters. But just as they’re about to break out, Connor, her on-again, off-again boyfriend walks away . . . and rockets to solo fame with a hit song tearing her down.
Left with a fractured band, a publicly adored and toxic ex, and relentless writer’s block, Cubby is barely holding it together.
The only thing keeping her steady are her friends and bandmates Darcy and Harry. Especially Darcy—bright, magnetic, and more guarded than she lets on. But, when a seemingly romantic photo of Cubby and Harry goes viral the same night Cubby and Darcy hook-up, the inseparable pair begin to fracture.
Thrust into a whirlwind tour, Cubby and Darcy are forced into close quarters. Now Cubby has one summer to decide what she’s willing to risk. Walking away would be easier. But staying might mean everything.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Eddings (Late Bloomer) explores the ups and downs of a burgeoning band in this funny and contemplative romance. For singer Cubby Clark, getting to tour the East Coast with her group Tea Time Tantrum should feel like years of dedication paying off. But the moment is marred by negative publicity and social media ridicule sparked by her self-absorbed ex-bandmate and ex-boyfriend, who has catapulted into stardom for a song that paints Cubby as a lackluster lover. After a sultry picture of Cubby and pianist Harry goes viral, suggesting a scandalous love triangle, Tea Time Tantrum decides to use this attention to their advantage and give the crowds more to gossip about. Behind the scenes, however, it's Cubby's connection with her childhood best friend and bassist Darcy Burton that simmers with romantic tension. After the women share an impulsive hookup, they struggle to redefine their relationship. Their magnetic chemistry alongside thoughtful discussions of mental health, the pursuit of art, and life in the public eye make up for occasionally uneven pacing, which causes certain scenes to drag and others to resolve abruptly. This vulnerable queer coming-of-age story will strike just the right chord with those who appreciate steamy and tender friends-to-lovers romances.
