    Summary

    Glinda Upland is everything she was supposed to become: the voice of a generation, the face of a global brand, and the world's biggest pop star. But underneath the gloss and glitter is a woman quietly falling apart, tired of playing a part she didn’t write, and haunted by the only person who ever really saw her.

    Elphaba Thropp walked away from the spotlight almost ten years ago. Now a jaded, fiercely independent guitarist scraping by in the indie scene. Elphaba wants nothing to do with stadium tours, glam squads, or the pop star she once knew too intimately to forget.

    Thrown together on the biggest stage of their lives, what begins as tension and unresolved history gives way to stolen glances, late-night songwriting sessions, and the terrifying possibility of something real.
