So when their new manager kicks them out of their comfort zone, Izzie and the band enter a tornado of activity: writing and rehearsing fresh songs as they prepare to record an album, embarking on a tour of grimy live music venues to grow their fandom mosh pit by mosh pit, and vigorously debating the optimum ratio of band merchandise to sleeping bags in the back of their shared touring van.
But with a drummer who can’t keep time, debts that won’t stop piling, venues that never live up to the photos online, and a manager who seems more troubled than the band, will this year, and this tour, see Drugstore Makeup reach the next level - or has Izzie finally bitten off more than she can chew?
Dive into an unseen side of the Life is Strange universe with this captivating and original novel!
