The Brightsiders

A teen rockstar must navigate family, love, coming out, and life in the spotlight after the tabloids label her a trainwreck in this dramatic novel.

As a rock star drummer, Emmy King’s life should be perfect. Her band, the Brightsiders, is a hit and all their dreams should be coming true. But there’s nothing the paparazzi love more than watching a celebrity crash and burn. When a night of partying lands Emmy in the hospital, she’s branded the latest tabloid trainwreck.

Luckily, Emmy has her friends and bandmates, including the super-swoonworthy Alfie, to help her pick up the pieces of her life. She knows hooking up with a band member is exactly the kind of trouble she should be avoiding, and yet Emmy and Alfie Just. Keep. Kissing.

Will the inevitable fallout turn her into a clickbait scandal (again)? Or will she find the strength to stand on her own?
