About this listen

Growing up, Wilder Ashburn was the hero I worshipped.
I was the pigtailed pest who never left him alone.

Everything changed the day I gave him a poem.
For the first time, he saw me...
And then he reached for his guitar.

From that moment on, we were entangled.
Bound by music and a shared dream.

Along the way, we made vows:
To always stay the same,
To never let anything come between us,
And above all, to never, ever fall in love.
But it turns out our promises were poison,
Corrupted long before spoken.
And for us, there is no antidote.

Falling in love was as inevitable as stardom,
And it would destroy us both.

What To Expect:- Heavy Angst
- Childhood Best Friends
- Musical Soulmates
- Anxiety + Addiction Rep

This is tumultuous love at its finest! It may at times feel star-crossed, but I have hope for them… they’re musical soulmates! They have to end happy 😩🙏

Wilder, my broken boy 🥺 god, I just wanted to hug him anytime he trembled 😭 he’s neurotic and considers himself “poison.”
Evangeline, is so strong she’s fearless in going her own way and making a name for herself on her merits. Even in the face of a man like Wilder, she will still stand ten toes down on an “it’s not my job to fix him” mentality, which slay, yes girl - personally, my self respect goes out the window for a pierced 🍆 but love that for her 🙌🏼

This was my first time reading anything by L.M. Halloran, and it definitely won’t be the last. Her writing is so beautiful, everything was just so poetic and had me in my feels 😩 and how she writes addiction and mental health is just so real and feels handled with care.

Gut wrenching. I loved it 😌 Both delivered beautifully from f*k yous to I love yous. The shakiness of someone having a breakdown will never fail to make me cry, and as a ♋️ this is the stuff I live for
