I wasn't sold on this book in the beginning because the drama seemed manufactured and overblown, but I'm glad I stuck it out. The characters all had unique voices and flaws they needed to overcome, and I thought the portrayal of messy relationship dynamics was important and authentic. Coming out is layered and multifaceted, it's not a one-and-done thing, and this story showed how complicated navigating that can be. It also has a good discussion about what many beloved artists have been facing with music industry contracts being too controlling and overstepping boundaries of what should be a fair professional relationship. I didn't expect the author to touch on these complex issues and it pleasantly surprised me. So, I'd recommend this book!
