A reunion tour reopens old questions

Emmy Gold’s return to the road with Deja View brings her back into close orbit with Bishop Ward, her former collaborator and first love. The band’s reunion has a practical purpose—supporting its drummer’s medical bills—but also places Emmy face to face with the split that ended the trio at the height of its early-aughts success. Now a solo singer-songwriter, she must consider how the person she became relates to the musician and young woman she once was. Music-industry history, a renewed collaboration, and an unresolved romance converge in a story about revisiting the past while deciding what it means in the present.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers interested in contemporary romance shaped by a second-chance connection.
  • For readers who enjoy stories about musicians, bands, and the demands of a reunion.
  • For readers drawn to characters reckoning with past relationships and personal change.

Book overview

Emmy Gold--the frontwoman of an indie-sleaze breakout band who's since gone solo--is back on tour with her former collaborator and first love, Bishop Ward. She's always trusted she can write a hit song, and now she's finding out if she can rewrite her past.

Deja View, an iconic early-aughts indie trio that released one perfect album two decades ago, broke up at the peak of their stardom, thanks to an unexpected schism between Emmy, the lead singer, and Bishop, the bassist she yearned after for years. Since then, Emmy has gone on to a successful career as a singer-songwriter, one who never revisits her younger days--until a reunion tour to support their drummer's medical bills forces her to reckon with who she and Bishop once were, and who they have since become.
