A rumor reshapes a senior year

Austin Winstead’s anticipated start as a metal vocalist is derailed when doctored screenshots and a rumor spread through an anonymous account. The fallout reaches beyond his band and fan base, exposing how fear of backlash can shape the choices of friends and peers. As those who turn against him face upheaval of their own, the story broadens from a public cancellation into questions of loyalty, self-understanding, and what people believe about one another. Bullying and social pressure frame this young adult novel, while Austin’s unexpected allies and the question of why he seems untroubled point toward a deeper truth.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in fiction about bullying and social pressure.
  • Readers drawn to stories about friendship, betrayal, and the consequences of online rumors.
  • Fans of music-centered young adult fiction, especially stories involving a rising metal vocalist.

Book overview

Austin Winstead's future is set at the end of senior year. He's well-liked. He has a ton of fans. His band scored the opening slot at a huge summer festival, and his career as a metal vocalist is truly about to begin.

Enter chaos.

An anonymous account shares some doctored screenshots along with a vicious rumor about him, and Austin gets canceled.

The band kicks him out. His fans abandon him. His friends turn on him.

Everybody knows if you stand up for a canceled person, you get canceled, too.

The people who betray Austin think they're saving themselves from the backlash. But when their lives also start to unravel, they begin to question not only themselves but everything they think they know.

Only two people stick by Austin, and they're the last two people he expects. But even they can't help but wonder... Why is Austin the only one who seems to be okay?

The answer will benefit them all. Sometimes it takes a lie to discover the truth about yourself.
