In the late 1970s, the Stardust Dive is more than just a club-it's the gateway to the glittering, chaotic world of rock 'n' roll. Neon lights, pounding basslines, and whispered promises of fame lure the young and hungry through its doors. Among them are Salem Monteg, her twin sister Lux, and their best friend Rocki-dubbed the Baby Glitter Chasers by the scene they dominate.
For Lux, the Dive is her playground, a place to bask in the adoration of the rock stars she idolizes. For Rocki, it's a launchpad, a stepping stone to something bigger. And for Salem, it's a means to an end-a place to survive, protect her sister, and chase her dream of making music that matters.
But the Stardust's glow hides a dangerous undercurrent. Beneath the allure lies a world of manipulation, exploitation, and broken promises. As Salem navigates the shadows of fame and the toxic relationships that feed it, she begins to question whether the Dive's price of admission is worth the cost of her soul-or her sister's innocence.
Stardust Dive is a gritty, poignant coming-of-age story that explores the dark glamour of the rock 'n' roll scene, the bonds of sisterhood, and the strength it takes to walk away from the spotlight. For fans of Almost Famous, I'm With the Band, and Girl Lost, this fictional novel pulls back the curtain on the highs and lows of chasing glitter.
