Publisher's Summary:

Living in the indie band capital of Athens, Georgia, Trisha decides to start her own punk band. Four young women are brought together, and The Forty Watt Flowers are formed.

Rosemarie, on keyboards, has a sex drive as fierce as a tornado. Aline, the singer, is a hermit, scratching out poems in her antebellum mansion. Juanita, on drums, has a poison tongue that's a little too quick on the draw. Toni, on guitar, made the mistake of heading south to come out of the closet.

In addition to managing her crew of misfits, Trisha struggles to figure out the chaos of her own life. Her relationship with Brent is caught in the roller coaster of his moods. She lost touch with her parents two years ago (and they probably still blame her for what happened to her sister).

The Forty Watt Flowers is a novel that gets you tapping your toes. It's what you create as you wrestle your demons, with the hottest, most frightening music you know.

A Band of Eclectic Characters!

Having lived in Georgia for the last 20+ years, it was very fun to read/listen to a story that was took place in Athens, GA. I was given the Audible version of this book in exchange for an honest review. The author was the narrator and she did a good job bringing the various personalities to life.

The book was a little hard for me to get into initially, but Id say after the first 20% it had me hooked! The characters were all so well developed I felt like I really knew them by the end. It was interesting to learn about the real challenges of starting up a band and keeping everyone on the same page.

All in all this was a very enjoyable book which I am so glad I had the opportunity to read (listen).

Nice book

I enjoyed listening to this book - because of the subject matter and the performance. The book is unique and I look forward to listening to it again. I would wholeheartedly recommend listening to this book.

Worth a listen to for people interested in music

I thought this was an interesting book about a group of girls starting their own band in a small town. I listened to the audio version, and the author did a good job of narrating, providing many different voices to the characters. I think this book would be particularly interesting to people who are starting their own bands, or who are just interested in music, especially of the 1990's. I was a teenager in the 1990's and knew all the music references that were made, which made it interesting. This book shows a lot about the dynamics of people in a band, troubles they may have working together, and having a life outside of a band. Overall, an interesting read. I probably wouldn't read it a second time, but I'm glad I read it once.

A Book that Glows from Within

What a romp! I loved this book when I read it and when I saw it came out as an audio book I decided to try the sample just to see what it was like. I liked it so much I decided to buy it and experience the book all over again in a different way--and I'm so glad I did. You won't be disappointed with this--you will only be disappointed when it's over as you'll miss all the characters as if they're family or close friends. Love the narrator. As good as they get. You can tell her heart is just about to explode for this book. Bravo!

Here is my original review of the book:

I dont review a lot of books but felt this book deserved a review in praise and as a bit of an apology.
