This is the whole story, right from the beginning: the sun-bleached streets, the grimy bars on the Sunset Strip, knowing Daisy’s moment was coming. Relive the euphoria of success and experience the terror that nothing will ever be as good again. Take the uppers so you can keep on believing, take the downers so you can sleep, eventually. Wonder who you are without the drugs or the music or the fans or the family that prop you up. Make decisions that will forever feel tough. Find beauty where you least expect it.

It started when they betrayed me. The ones who I’d come to trust. The ones I was starting to love. My world flipped upside down, and nothing is as it seems. Everything was unravelling before my eyes, tearing us apart whilst pulling us closer together. I’m caught between two worlds: the one I grew up in and the one I’d started to forge with the boys. Everything came to a grinding halt when long hidden secrets came to light. The truth changed the rules and made us realize nothing in life is ever as it seems.

It started with the war. The war we’d wage upon the very man who’d raised me. The war that would either tear us apart or keep us together. We’d finally found our way to each other.

Keeping our feelings at bay. The questions plagued me. Where did my loyalties lie? Who could I trust? And the biggest one of all.

It started with an impossible choice. One I had no wish to make from a person I’d only just come to know. So many of our decisions had led up to this moment. Perhaps it was the way we’d come together that threw my life so off balance, leaving me with the final say in a matter I wanted no part of. We had to draw up the battle lines. Change our fates. Or we’d all crash and burn. It wasn’t a case of if we’d fight for survival; it was when.
