A songwriter wrestles with instant stardom and his bisexuality in this raw and propulsive novel for fans of If This Gets Out and Alice Oseman-s I Was Born for This.
After one of his songs goes viral, Ollie Cheriet gets the opportunity of a lifetime: a cross-country tour, an album deal, and a chance to help his family with their financial struggles. The only problem? Ollie has major stage fright, a symptom of his anxiety disorder. As pressure from performing, social media rumors, and his romantic life rises, his mental health starts to spiral. So he-s surprised at how grounded he feels when he collaborates with his wildly talented-and distractingly cute-touring partner, Jesse. Music has always helped Ollie through hard times, but he-s going to have to be more vulnerable than he ever thought possible to find self-acceptance in the glow of the spotlight.
