Why read it?
1 author picked The Lightning Bottles as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
You’re thrown into the world of grunge music here with a couple, Jane and Elijah, who meet in a chat room (historical fiction!).
Soon enough, the couple is worldwide famous, something Jane had always wanted. Jane, who writes the songs, is misunderstood and underappreciated, while Elijah takes center stage. That’s okay with Jane until Elijah disappears, and Jane is heartbroken and lost while also being demonized by their fans.
This is a wonderfully compelling page-turner with likeable characters and some dislikeable ones, too.
From Jessica's list on music world books.
