THE SOUNDTRACK OF US Burnage, Manchester - 1984. Sixteen-year-old Bori Smith prefers to stay out of the way - sketchbook in hand, music in her ears, trying to keep her head down at home and at school. The only person who really gets her is Noel Gallagher - her best mate since childhood, now seventeen and dreaming of something bigger than the council estate they grew up on. But not everyone approves of their friendship - especially Bori's parents. They think Noel's trouble. Maybe he is. Maybe that's why she can't seem to stay away. A story about music, friendship, and the moments that change everything. *⚠️ This story contains mature themes and strong language. Reader discretion is advised.* Ps.: The name on the cover (and in the story) "Bori Smith", is not my name, it's made up. It's used as if she wrote the book. Kinda. :) ! Also, each chapter features a song in it's title - I recommend checking them out before/after you've read that chapter. In a way they are connected to the story ;) I've made a playlist of it on Spotify, at the end of the introduction chapter you can find it. !

"𝗜𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝘆𝗲𝘀 𝗜 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘁 𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗲, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗼" Emily Bell - concert photographer and younger sister of Andy Bell. Fiercely independent, sharp-tongued, and with an unflinching eye for capturing the truth behind the scenes. She's never been impressed by rock stars-until she meets Noel Gallagher.

Nothing ever really happened in Burnage. Nothing good anyway. Beatrice, Trix to her friends, always felt like she was waiting on something even remotely exciting to happen to save her from the mundane council estate on the outskirts of Manchester. Then, one day the Gallaghers moved in across the street and things weren't boring anymore. In fact, they weren't boring ever again. Liam is the best and loyal friend anyone could ask for until, that is, you catch feelings for his older brother... Starting in 1987 and the ensuing decade finishing around Be Here Now 1997 era.
