"Funny, tender, edgy. I wanted the love story to go on forever."—Joan Johnston, bestselling author of No Longer a Stranger Written in the wonderfully honest, edgy, and hilarious voice she perfected in God-Shaped Hole, Tiffanie DeBartolo shines in a passionate new story of music, love, and sacrifice. Eliza Caelum, a young music journalist, is finally getting her footing in New York when she meets Paul Hudson, a talented songwriter and lead singer of the band Bananafish. They soon realize they share more than a reverence for rock music and plunge headlong into love. When Bananafish is signed by a big corporate label, and Paul is on his way to becoming a major rock star, Eliza's past forces her to make a heartbreaking decision that might be the key to Paul's sudden disappearance. A layered and emotional look into the world of music, this raw summer read will resonate with readers who loved Daisy Jones & the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Praise for Tiffanie DeBartolo's God-Shaped Hole: "From highs to heartbreak, DeBartolo conjures an affair to remember."—People "Honest, raw, and engaging."—Booklist "This generation's Love Story."—Kirkus Reviews

“I am of the theory that all of our transcendental connections, anything we're drawn to, be it a person, a song, a painting on a wall–they're magnetic. The art is the alloy, so to speak. And our souls are equipped with whatever properties are required to attract that alloy. I'm no scientist so I don't really know what the hell these properties are, but my point is we're drawn to stuff we've already got a connection to. Part of the thing is already inside of us.”
This book is inside me. I've lost count of how many times I've actually read it since the first time I picked it up in 2015. If you were to ask me what my favorite book is, How to Kill a Rock Star by Tiffanie DeBartolo would be my answer every time. It's my favorite to re-read when I need a break from the light, fluffy stuff and want to read something that's really going to make me FEEL. I've never had such a visceral reaction to a book or a set of characters before as I have had to these ones. Paul Hudson, I can't say enough about him. He's a tortured artist in every sense. You just need to experience him. So many times during this book, I've had to set it down because something he says or does just completely overwhelms me, even on my umpteenth re-read. I've yet to come across another character like him and I read a lot.
I doubt I will ever get tired of reading this book. It's still compelling even though I know what's going to happen and when. I still get the urge to chuck my Kindle across the room at certain points and I still laugh and cry like a baby at others. I could probably quote it in my sleep at this point. I can't wait for Tiffanie's next book.
csak azt nem értem, hogy a női főszereplőnőknek miért kell mindig ostoba fajankóknak lenniük. baromira felbőszített ez a hülye tyúk.
ezt és a fájdalmasan kiszámítható fordulatot leszámítva tök jó a könyv.
