Sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll!
Groupies is a story about, well, groupies, the young women and girls who follow musicians around for a contact high of fame.
After the death of her mother, co-ed Faun, now alone in the world, travels across the country to reunite with her high school best friend in 1977 LA, the charismatic Josie who is dating Cal Holiday, the lead singer of Holiday Sun, an iconic pop rock band whose celebrity is waning. Faun, an aspiring photographer is soon inducted into the groupie way of life, partying the nights away and sleeping with men like they’re collectibles alongside a posse of other young women and girls.
Groupies is a wild ride and everything I was hoping it would be! Set in the glitter and grit of the 70s and with an interesting juxtaposition of second-wave feminism Groupies is a must read if you enjoyed books like Mary Jane, Songs in Ursa Major, or The Final Revial of Opal & Nev. A most excellent debut!
