A vivid and immersive tale of one woman's reckless mission to make sense of the events that shattered her childhood, and made her who she is.
Summer, 1989: ten-year-old Suzanne is drawn like a magnet to her father's forbidden world of electric guitars and tricked-out cars. When her mother remarries, she jumps at the chance to tag along on the concert tour that just might be Gil and the Kills' wild ride to glory. But fame has sharper fangs than anybody realized, and as the band blazes up the charts, internal power struggles set Gil and his group on a collision course destined for a bloody reckoning - one shrouded in mystery and lore for decades to come.
The only witness to a desperate act of violence, Suzanne spends the next twenty-nine years trying to disappear. She trades the music and mayhem of her youth for the quiet of the suburbs and the company of her mild-mannered husband Rob. But when her father's sudden death resurrects the troubled past she tried so hard to bury, she leaves it all behind and hits the road in search of answers.
Hitching her fate and Gil's beloved car to two vagabonds who call an old Airstream trailer home, she finds everything she thought she'd lost forever: desire, adventure, and the woman she once wanted to be. But Rob refuses to let her go. Determined to bring her back where she belongs, he chases her across the country - and drives her to a desperation all her own.
Drenched in knock-down drag-out rock and roll, Hot Wax is a raucous, breakneck ride to hell and back - where getting lost might be the only way to find yourself and save your soul.
Bokomslag och beskrivning av bokens handling hämtad från Adlibris.
Trodde denna skulle vara så mycket bättre än vad den var, hade för höga förväntingar på den efter att ha hört så bra om den av en booktuber och efter att ha gillat författarens förra bok jag läste.
För det här var inte en berättelse jag fastnade i, fanns inget som jag tyckte var intressant med den. Vet inte om det bara var jag som inte gillade handlingen eller om det var något annat som gjorde att jag inte gillade den...
Eller om det var som ljudok som gjorde att det blev fel, för det var svårt att hålla reda på både de två tidslinjerna som fanns och alla olika karaktärer.
