A slow burn gay romance, exploring coming out and coming of age in the 1980s.
In the summer of 1987, Daron Marks is trying to make it big. His band is attracting the attention of the major labels, but his own attention all too often falls on his band's lead singer, Ziggy. Daron already struggles with being gay-the last thing he needs is a bandmate relationship. He resolves to keep his crush a secret. But nothing stays secret long under the white-hot spotlight of fame.
"The continuation of Daron's story in which he struggles with who and what he is. While I love the description of the music and how Daron and his friends play off each other, the true power of the book lies in Daron's struggle to connect to his friends. So used to hiding who he truly is, he has lost the ability to communicate through words. (Thank god he has music.)"-Mezzo
"Only very rarely do we come across a character that is truly unforgettable. [Daron] feels so true to life."-Love Bytes Reviews
