Synopsis

She wasn’t supposed to meet someone like him. He wasn’t supposed to be her undoing.
It’s 1995, Joah Harrigan is the brash, enigmatic frontman of the biggest band in the world, and Ysolde is the iconic face of a generation. She’s who people write their songs about—the kind of girl who could ruin a man.
He doesn’t fall, and she doesn’t chase. But from the moment they meet, it’s 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 doesn’t know how to be with someone he can’t 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 don’t end—they can’t—so they just destroy you.

Goodreads review by Brady on July 22, 2025

4.5 stars - I used to say that I wasn't a fan of reading about toxic characters... and all of that changed when I finally decided to give Jessa Hasting's a try and boy oh boy I am HOOKED on her.

"There are so many ways you can know a person, and knowing someone isn’t linear anyway." All thoughts aside, just know that this is NOT a romance. -------- I'M EXCITED! But also like, girl, what about Julian?......more

3.75💫 i was expecting worse tbh. this was true jessa hastings style with the poetic quotes and the messy characters. i loved the model x rockstar vibe and had a fun time reading their story. the insta-love was what i was worried about, but it actually made sense for them in my opinion because of thei......more

2.5 STARS — Time (out) of my life... that I maybe should have spent reading something else. Preface: I am a huuuuge Magnolia Parks fan. But this? This was... clunky. Even the author's note felt rushed and super ranty. (She wrote this book in a month, by the way 😀) If you hated BJ, brace yourself becau......more
