The Night We Stopped the World

A two-book series set in the world of indie bands. Love, music, drama and a protagonist, Marina, who is searching for her own voice.

After finding out that her boyfriend was cheating on her, Marina discovers yet another betrayal: her mother is going back on her promise to pay for a onemonth cooking course in Rome. That was Marina's greatest dream, a dream she sacrificed to study International Relations because of other people’s expectations of her. Now Marina ends up doing the craziest thing she’s ever done: auditioning to be the singer of the group At the Edge of the Abyss. Noah is a young musician who aspires to immortality through his songwriting, because for him music is eternal. However, his terminal illness means he must achieve his dream in record time. Then Noah meets Marina, the new singer, and between songwriting retreats, rehearsals, concerts in dive bars and festivals, he breaks his two rules: falling in love when it’s not an option and singing.
