Twenty-three-year-old Sadie Bennett has spent the last five years turning her breakdowns into chart-topping lyrics.
As the lead singer of the wildly controversial girlband Crying During Sex, Sadie is famous for three things: saying the wrong thing all the time, writing songs cruel enough to feel true, and looking completely out of control while doing it. The internet calls her a genius. The tabloids call her unstable. Most days, she isn't sure which one is worse.
Then one sarcastic comment at an awards show turns into the headline heard around the world.
Now Sadie and her band are trapped in a vicious public feud with 5 Seconds of Summer-especially Luke Hemmings, the frustratingly calm frontman who seems to understand fame in all the ways she wishes he didn't. Fans pick sides overnight. Every glance becomes clickbait. Every interview becomes a performance. And when their labels force them into the same orbit for the sake of publicity, the line between hatred and obsession starts to blur.
But behind sold-out shows and flashing cameras, Sadie is unraveling quietly. Panic attacks. Sleepless nights. The unbearable pressure of becoming a person the world has already decided she is.
And Luke may be the only one who notices.
As scandals explode and the industry tightens its grip, Sadie is forced to confront the terrifying question beneath every headline:
Who is she when nobody's watching?
