Maya, an anxious and deeply introverted teenager whose world begins to change after an unexpected friendship with the quiet and effortlessly talented Zoey. What starts as awkward bass practice sessions slowly turns into something much bigger: the formation of a chaotic garage band alongside Maya's energetic older sister Coco and the wildly unpredictable Mymy. As the group struggles through terrible rehearsals, awkward emotions, inside jokes, growing confidence and the terrifying possibility of performing in front of people, Maya is forced to confront fears she's spent years hiding behind. Blending sharp humour, heartfelt character dynamics and emotionally honest moments, this novel explores friendship, family, music, anxiety and the frightening reality of letting yourself care about something for the first time.
