'No boyfriends, no groupies'- that is the standing NBNG rule for Amelia Marsh, the hostile and insular front-man of the internationally renowned alternative rock band 'The Bystander Effect'. Four simple coping strategies have pulled her through five years of tours and eight years of life without having to let her stage face slip and in her mind, she is happy.
But like any tightly wound twenty-two year old, you can count on a man to screw it up. Their eyes meet over the university library at an opportune moment and he sees past the arctic cold front to the fragile child that she seeks so desperately to protect.
There are secrets, so many secrets- his and hers. Can her own words- meet me halfway- force a compromise between the two, or will her turgid grasp on her reprehension keep him and his desire for intimacy at arms length? Maybe not, when four, well, four and a half words have a deeply illicit Pavlovian effect on her- 'I'm with the band'.
Truths are told in a scorching hot tale of trust sought through lust and love won through tolerance and blissful ignorance. What man wouldn't salivate at the notion of spending weeks in the close company of the band he idolises and his 'perfect woman'? Oh, that would be CJ. He has no idea who they are. What a moron.
With coarse language, dark humour and general illicitness throughout, this book is not for the easily offended.
