She wasnt supposed to meet someone like him. He wasnt supposed to be her undoing.
Its 1995, Joah Harrigan is the brash, enigmatic frontman of the biggest band in the world, and Ysolde is the iconic face of a generation. Shes who people write their songs about—the kind of girl who could ruin a man.
He doesnt fall, and she doesnt chase. But from the moment they meet, its headfirst, reckless, and inevitable.
Too much, too fast, too consuming.
Loving Ysolde makes Joah feel alive, but it also makes him feel trapped. Her star burns just as bright as his, and he doesnt know how to be with someone he cant control. The more he wants her, the more he resents her for it.
But fame is corrosive, and so is love. Neither Ysolde nor Joah were built to survive both, because some loves dont end—they cant—so they just destroy you.
