Funny and painful, it's a sharply etched portrait of fallible human beings living, loving, screwing up, and making do." - Publishers Weekly Sixteen-year-old Austin is always messing up and then joking his way out of tough spots. The sudden appearance of his allegedly dead father, who happens to be the very-much-alive rock star Shane Tyler, stops him cold. Austin-a talented musician himself-is sucked in to his newfound father's alluring music-biz orbit. None of Austin's previous bad decisions, resulting in broken instruments, broken hearts, and broken dreams, can top this one. Witty and audacious, Austin is dragged kicking and screaming toward adulthood in this hilarious, heart-wrenching novel." | The Bad Decisions Playlist by Michael Rubens, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
