What do you get when you mix sex, drugs, Rock-n-Roll, and magic?
You get SYNCHRONY.
Follow lead-singer, Van and the band, Bad Apple, as they wrap up their latest tour. While each member of the group begins to face the reality of their own lives, the tight-knit band starts to fall apart not long after returning home to Florida. At the end, Van is faced with difficult choices regarding love and death entwined with mythology. Can love prevail?
Anthony S. Buoni takes the reader on a journey of destruction, love, and forgiveness within SYNCHRONY and makes it work. An intense and enjoyable read.
Disclaimer: I was provided with a copy of this book for an honest review.
Also, a fun side-note, the author weaves lyrics from multiple songs within the dialogue. I challenge you to find them all!
