I loved watching Eva's journey with fandom (even though she was a member of her own). Eva has a secret fan Tumblr, living up to every fandom kid's dream that their favorite artist is secretly watching (and interacting) with them from behind the scenes. I definitely related to Eva on the songwriting and college student-ing front, and I appreciate how she relishes in her small world with a great college friend and a slower lifestyle.

She enjoys having her own identity as a college student while still getting to dip in and out of the industry as a songwriter. Her life was turned upside down and all her plans were destroyed by the band folding, but she's built herself back up. Maybe it's because I identify with her most, but I'm pretty sure she also got the most time on the page.Įva is wonderful.

It's a multi-POV story, but Eva came to be the main character in my head. Can one week heal years of broken emotional bones? Overall: 4.5Ĭharacters: 5 I love the band, and I love that we get to hear from all of the members personally. But when a storm rocks Duluth, the silent group chat springs to life as the band realizes they needs to help. Steph retreated back into their family life in Duluth, shunning LA. While Eva has moved on to penning chart topping songs from behind the scenes and going to UCLA, Gina has the acting career she thoughts she wanted, and Celeste is going it alone on a massive world tour. Celeste had aspirations of a solo career, and Gina initiated the break-up in favor of an acting career. Steph's mental health was slowly being destroyed by being non-binary yet stuck conforming to the standards of a girlband. Eva's heart was broken by the sudden end of the band (and her first relationship with bandmate Celeste). Over the years, though, the queer band has evolved and fell apart. Overview: Moonlight Overthrow took the world by storm as a group of 14 year-olds from Minnesota.
