SYNOPSIS FROM AUTHORS WEBSITE⇣
From the moment she stepped foot in NYC, Addison Stone’s subversive street art made her someone to watch, and her violent drowning left her fans and critics craving to know more. I conducted interviews with those who knew her best—including close friends, family, teachers, mentors, art dealers, boyfriends, and critics—and retraced the tumultuous path of Addison's life. I hope I can shed new light on what really happened on the night of July 28.

MY THOUGHTS⇣
When I read the synopsis for this book, I thought, ohhh, this reminds me of Daisy Jones & the Six. With the interview style audio and a full-cast to recite it. Sounds enticing...and the audio does play out really similar to Daisy Jones...but the story overall lacked something...like a definitive ending or just something that pulls you in and gets you invested in the story.
Addison Stone felt like a real person, not a made-up one. One of those people who burns so bright...and then, sadly, burns out way too young. Her story is one that plays out for real all the time, sadly. Maybe, that is supposed to be the pull, but maybe, for me, that wasn't quite enough. The full-cast narration was terrific, though, and that alone made this an engaging listen.
