Despite a difficult childhood bouncing between back rooms and bars with her musician mom and rough barkeep dad, Toni Bennette (yes, you can roll your eyes about her name) has made a name for herself in Philadelphia as a go-to guitarist for recording sessions. But when she gets a chance to audition for a temporary spot in an up-and-coming indie rock band, she's confronted with another piece of her past: Sebastian Quick, the guy who was her best friend and sole music companion in her teens who abandoned her as soon as he turned 18. As they reconnect, Toni and Seb must reconcile their pasts and work toward the future, for the sake of the band and their own sanity.
For how long this book is, it read INCREDIBLY fast. This isn't your average romance novel setup, and it's particularly awesome in how it treats the main characters' complex history. I was swept away by Toni's story, and I will absolutely read the rest of Axelrod's books about the band, which I hope will be coming soon.
