Ema Nakahara has never killed anyone. She's just a girl trying to make it in the cutthroat music industry, stuck as the forever intern. But when she suddenly finds her first big break as the lead singer of Starfruit, an up-and-coming queer band, it is immediately plagued by misfortune: cancelled gigs, a scummy manager, a dead body-and a lot of secrets to keep. The band doesn't deserve this. Emboldened by her new friendships, Ema will do whatever it takes to protect them and her dream. \[This series contains themes regarding sexual harassment that may not be suitable for all readers.

College senior Wren Wu has never been a team player. So, when her brother gets checked into a rehab clinic across the country, and her family makes her move with them, her world is pulled off its axis. Her solitude is challenged further when she joins the school roller derby team. It’s probably a mistake. As a former figure skater, derby is far from the skating she’s used to. It’s rough, dirty and she bruises easily. But perhaps her biggest challenge is the elusive and infuriating team captain: Corinne Fontaine.
