Recommendation
This is an outstanding series debut! It took me back to my teen years when I was obsessed with boy bands. I would spend hours listening to music and reading gossip rags for the latest news. And every now and then I would imagine a glance between members. This story was much better than any fever dream conjured up by my teenaged brain. Caleb and Leo are amazing and I can’t wait for the rest of the band!
Excerpts
Would it be crazy if I wanted to try again, with you?
Maybe it'll help you to know there's someone who will be watching you tonight who loves you very much. The way you used to be, the way you are now. Every single version of you.
Whatever you want, that's what I want. Today, tomorrow, in the next fifty years.
Publisher synopsis
When Caleb Chance walked out in Detroit five years ago, leaving his band, millions of his fans and his lover behind, Leo knew he could never forgive.
Some things, no matter what the cause, are unforgivable.
But Leo never expected Caleb to show up again, clean and sober and wanting to get their band, Star Shadow, back together. He definitely never expected to agree to Caleb’s plan.
He never expected to confront the love of his life again—or the disaster of his past, the hopelessness of his future, and every terrible thing he’s been carrying inside him.
But maybe some things aren’t so terrible after all.
