وصف الناشر
An electrifying rom com of rivalry and redemption, perfect for fans of Emily Henry and Daisy Jones and the Six, from New York Times bestselling author Emma Lord.
Once the most notorious rivals in the music scene, pop princess Mackenzie Waters and punk rockstar Sam Blaze electrified audiences as their bands clashed on stage. But behind the scenes, their simmering tension grew into something more — until suddenly both bands fell apart, and the idea of Mackenzie and Sam did, too.
Two years later, Sam has traded the rockstar lifestyle for a quiet life raising the son he didn’t know about. Meanwhile, Mackenzie is dealing with a postoperative change in her voice by only singing under a pseudonym. The only way to revive their public careers? A joint comeback album.
With fans over the moon and their futures on the line, Sam and Mackenzie face their biggest challenge yet: giving up their old rivalry and learning to work together. But as old sparks fly and new secrets emerge, they set off a chain reaction neither of them could have anticipated — one that proves that sometimes, the greatest hits are the ones yet to be written.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Musical rivals must find a way to work together in this winning contemporary from bestseller Lord (The Rival). In the two years since punk rocker Sam Blaze and pop girl group frontwoman Mackenzie Waters last sparred onstage during an ill-conceived joint concert tour, their respective bands have broken up. Mackenzie has been rediscovering her voice after thyroid surgery and Sam has devoted himself to helping raise six-year-old Ben, a son he didn't know he had. Now the pair reunite, agreeing to their label's request that they join forces on a comeback album intended to restoke fan fervor surrounding their charged animosity. Collaborative composing sessions lead to personal revelations on both sides and a return of the mutual attraction they never got to explore. Their budding relationship is complicated by the watchful cameras of the paparazzi—and by a secret Mackenzie's keeping about her career. Lord offers an authentic and highly detailed look at the ups and downs of the music industry while fleshing out Sam and Mackenzie's past and present desires. There's a lot to love here.
