The author of New York Times bestseller and Reese’s Book Club pick Lucky returns with a spellbinding story of rock ‘n’ roll and star-crossed love—about a grunge-era musician's journey to find out what really happened to her husband and partner in music, who abruptly disappeared years earlier.

He was the troubled face of rock ‘n’ roll…until he suddenly disappeared without a trace.

She was once half of a famous rock ‘n’ roll duo. Years later, she’s perhaps the most hated—and least understood—woman in music. She was never as popular with fans as her bandmate (and soulmate)—even if she was the one who wrote the songs that catapulted the band to instant, dizzying fame, first in the Seattle grunge scene, then around the world.

But ever since he disappeared five years earlier and the band’s meteoric rise to fame came crashing down, the public hatred of her has taken on new levels, and all she wants to do is retreat. What she doesn’t anticipate is the bombshell that awaits her at her new home in the German countryside: the sullen teenaged girl next door—a band superfan—who claims to have proof that not only is her bandmate is still alive, he’s also been leaving secret messages for her. And they need to find them right away.

A cross-continent road trip about two misunderstood outsiders brought together by their shared love of music, this novel is both a love letter to the 90s and a searing portrait of the cost of fame.

On sale now through September 14th (or until we sell out), this stunning exclusive edition of a powerhouse star's rise and fall won't be available for long. Boxes are expected to ship in late September following the book's release date on September 24th.

    Personal bookclub fun

    I enjoy the monthly subscription to Once Upon a bookclub! My husband got a year for me the past two Christmases. I think it has been my favorite gift ever. The books are always good, some famous authors. The gifts are always so fun. I enjoy the thrill of getting closer to each gift. I am one of those people that follows the rules and waits to get to that page before opening the gift. It’s very satisfying.
