When Jaxsper Finn's best friend submits him to the reality show, I'm With The Band, he expects to spend three weeks awkwardly coexisting with three famous brothers. What he doesn't expect is Aiden- charming, vulnerable, and just as trapped by the cameras as Jaxsper is.
As their connection deepens under constant surveillance, Jaxsper discovers that reality TV is anything but real. Every moment is filmed, edited, and packaged for consumption. And when their secret relationship threatens both Aiden's carefully managed career and the show's explosive storyline, Jaxsper faces an impossible choice: protect what they have by fading into invisibility or fight for visibility in a world that isn't ready to see them.
This story takes place in the year 2000- a time when MTV still played music videos. Music came on CDs that you bought at the mall. Mix tapes were still a love language. LiveJournal was where you wrote your feelings. AOL Instant Messenger was how you stayed connected.
Welcome to the year 2000.
A story about privacy, performance, and the price of being seen-or choosing not to be.
