About this eBook
A fascinating and stunning novel from Pete Wentz, the founder and bassist of punk sensation Fall Out Boy—that reveals the dark side of rock-and-roll.
Sometimes, late at night in the hotel room, after the lights have gone out and the mistakes have already been made, when it is heavy and silent and still, I lie awake and listen to my pulse on the pillow…
Imagine you are on a tour bus, the miles whistling away beneath you as you sleep. Tomorrow you will wake up in downtown Somewhere. It doesn’t matter. All the skylines look the same. Time is only marked by events. The world is on a first-name basis with you.
But you…you barely even know yourself. There are those who give in completely to the idea of what it means to be famous. And those who can’t ever seem to leave the past behind. Life is a deep and contemplative story stuck on repeat—love, loss, self-destruction, self-discovery.
If you could go back to the way things were before you made it…would everything still be gray?

This book is amazing, Pete did an awesome job. I couldn't put it down both times I read it, both times I read it I finished it in a day. It's just such an easy read and he made you connect with the charcter and his mind so well. I definitely felt the emotions I'm just a addicted to it and im most definitely going to read it again and again!

This book is my favorite. I can relate to some problems, and this book always makes me think more about Fall Out Boy's lyrics.
