PLEASE NOTE THAT SINCE THE LAST SUNDAY OF NOVEMBER FALLS OVER THANKSGIVING WEEKEND WE ARE MEETING THE SUNDAY BEFORE, NOVEMBER 22 Perfect for fans of Daisy Jones and the Six* and *In Five Years* — a beautiful and powerful novel about a music executive desperately trying to bring a rock band back from the brink. When record executive Theo meets the Future Saints, they’re bombing at a dive bar in their hometown. Since the tragic death of their manager, the band has been in a downward spiral and Theo has been dispatched to coax a new—and successful—album out of them, or else let them go. Immediately, Theo is struck by Hannah, the group’s impetuous lead singer, who’s gone off script by debuting a whole new sound, replacing their California pop with gut-wrenching rock. When this new music goes viral, striking an unexpected chord with fans, Theo puts his career on the line to give the Saints one last shot at success with a new tour, new record, and new start. But Hannah’s grief has larger consequences for the group, and her increasingly destructive antics become a distraction as she and her sister Ginny—her lifelong partner in crime—undermine Theo at every turn. Hannah isn’t ready to move on or prepared for the fame she’s been chasing, and the weight of her problems jeopardize the band, her growing closeness with Theo, and, worst of all, her relationship with her sister—all while the world watches closely. The Future Saints’ big break is here—if only they can survive it.
