When a single dad meets the former rock-star crush of his youth, everything they thought they knew about happiness and love is thrown into chaos in this hopeful, heartwarming romantic comedy.
âBound to charm readers from page one . . . Youâll root for everyone in this sweet love story.ââElissa Sussman, bestselling author of Funny You Should Ask
Billy Perkins is happy. And why wouldnât he be? He loves his job as an independent music teacher and his apartment in Baltimore above a record shop called Charm City Rocks. Most of all, he loves his brainy teenage son, Caleb.
Margot Hammer, on the other hand, is far from happy. The former drummer of the once-famous band Burnt Flowers, sheâs now a rock-and-roll recluse living alone in New York City. When a new music documentary puts Margot back in the spotlight, she realizes how much she misses her old band and the music that gave her life meaning. Â
Billy has always had a crush on Margot. But sheâs a legitimate rock starâor, at least, she wasâso he never thought heâd meet her. Until Caleb, worried that his easygoing dad might actually be lonely, cooks up a scheme to get Margot to perform at Charm City Rocks.
Itâs the longest of long shots, but Margotâs label has made it clear that any publicity is an opportunity she canât afford to miss. When their paths collide, Billy realizes that he maybe wasnât as happy as he thoughtâand Margot learns that sometimes the sweetest music is a duet.
