Summary
(Y/N) (L/N) is a 20 year old girl who's just graduated from college, managed to buy a house in the suburbs, and works for a publishing office, where her dreams of becoming a fiction writer go mostly unrealized. Axl is a spiraling degenerate youth who sings in the church choir, hates his step father with a passion, and has it out for the world's blood. One day - by accident - their worlds collide, and it's a lot more beautiful than either one of them expected.

Summary
Summer 1986. Valerie Anderson is a broke, bored waitress stuck in a Sunset Strip diner and dreaming of escape. By twenty-two, she's fled her mother's faith and vowed never to return.
Enter: Axl Rose. He's a god on stage and a mess of contradictions off it--infuriating, electrifying, and raw in a way she just can't shake. At once, his rootlessness upends her routine.
What blooms as infatuation swiftly spirals into obsessive devotion triggering the suspicion of Valerie's best friend, Jill. Her criticism rips open old wounds and tears Valerie between the only love she's ever known and imminent self-destruction; whatever differences exist between the two.
Sex, drugs, and resurrected histories scar the rise of Guns N' Roses and tempt the fall of its troubled muse. Her past isn't dead, only angered. But does it wield a sharper knife than the life Axl leads?
