An early-20000s queer coming-of-age novel.


It's Silver Lake in 2004 where Carla and Pete are chasing the perfect soundtrack to their lives. They soon find it takes more than a killer vinyl collection to survive in a city that doesn't give AF.

Once driven by their band The Disenchanted, their Eastside dreams are sidelined by life's demands. Carla experiences monotony as a TV extra, while Pete grapples with identity and ambition, answering phones. As he hides his bisexuality in an era of misconceptions, leaving Carla confused —their once-strong connection fraying under unspoken truths.

Somewhere in Hollywood gives Normal People a queer twist and Wayfarers, nailing the early-2000s pop culture buzz, the sting of unrequited love, and the fight to find yourself when everything stops making sense.
