A compelling look at the price of fame and the power of love. Elijah and Jane are in love and on the cusp of stardom. They make wonderful music together as the Lightning Bottles, with Jane writing the lyrics (though no ones seems to believe it) and Elijah singing them. While Elijah is beloved by fans and others alike, Jane has been reviled by music executives, the media, and the masses. Fans think Jane is bringing Elijah down and things certainly don’t improve when Elijah tragically disappears and everyone blames Jane. Five years later, mysterious public art pops up that can only be from Elijah. Is this a cruel trick or is it really Elijah trying to find Jane?

This was great - there is so much tension, mystery, and, heartbreak. I kept turning the pages, wondering how Jane’s and Elijah’s story would unfold. Jane is awesome and it was easy to sympathize with and root for her. The exploration of misogyny and sexism in the music industry was just as entertaining as Jane’s and Elijah’s love story.

Thank you very much to Simon & Schuster and NetGalley for the opportunity to read a copy.
