The Music We Make

By: Michelle Rene DeBellis

Narrated by: Michelle Rene DeBellis

Surviving an accident that takes his mother’s life, 22-year-old songwriter Santiago DeAngelo is consumed by grief, guilt, and the opiates he is prescribed for his injuries. Nearing rock bottom, he receives inspiration for a song from his late mother. As he struggles to write it, he falls in love with Kitty Holladay, a music producer who offers a rare shot at fame with a hidden agenda. Kitty seduces him into the fast-paced world of pop music, where he records a hit album while fighting his opiate addiction to write the one song that will help him make peace with his mother’s death.

But when their relationship ends over the betrayal of that song, Santiago must decide the real value of his life in a moment that nearly ends it.

The Music We Make is a story of overcoming our pain to achieve our dreams.

fun read & cool to hear the song at the end

A friend recommended the book and I'm glad I listened instead of actually reading it. Not just because I'm addicted to audiobooks because So Cal traffic, but because I wasnt expecting to hear the song at the end. It reminded me a little bit of Daisy Jones and the Six, with the music and the collaboration with Kitty (she was my favorite character in the book,I liked her better than the main love interest, maybe because she felt more real). I really loved that they included the song at the end of the book. It wasn't what I expected but it made sense because it was the group at the end. Worth the listen
