'Biting and beautiful.' Jonny Sun, author of everyone s a aliebn when ur a aliebn too. Everyone talks about falling in love, but falling in friendship can be just as captivating. When Neela Devaki s song is covered by internet-famous artist Rukmini, the two musicians meet and a transformative friendship begins. But as Rukmini s star rises and Neela s stagnates, jealousy and self-doubt creep in. With a single tweet, their friendship implodes, one career is destroyed, and the two women find themselves at the center of an internet firestorm. Celebrated multidisciplinary artist Vivek Shraya s second novel is a stirring examination of making art in the modern era, a love letter to brown women, an authentic glimpse into the music industry, and a nuanced exploration of the promise and peril of being seen.
