Famous Last Words

A rock star survives a plane crash that he believes should have killed him. His career goes on and money buys him almost anything, but it cannot buy peace. When the guilt, pain and sorrow close in, he is left with a hollow where his old life used to be.

Then a woman arrives, and she is the one person he is forbidden to love. She is grieving too, and she steps into the space the loss has left. The narrator is the rock star, so the story is told in his first-person voice, close to his pain and his doubts.

Both of them are broken, and he cannot explain why being near her makes him want to go on living. He needs a new reason to keep breathing, and he suspects she is it. The book also deals with forgiveness and with the faint hope of rekindling a love that once meant everything to them.

This is an angsty romance with heavy emotional beats. Expect grief and guilt to sit at the center of the story, with second chances as the thread that carries it forward. The tone is raw and sorrowful, and the book sets out to hurt before it comforts.
