The Bellevue Boys: A Gen X Rock 'n' Roll Rom-Com from the MTV Era

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

In the heat-blasted suburbs of Tucson, 1989, Adam has two dreams: becoming a rock god and surviving high school heartbreak. Armed with a Fender Strat, a denim vest, and a killer Def Leppard mixtape, Adam and his misfit band—the Bellevue Boys—are determined to make it big… eventually.

But first, there’s a cheating ex, a summer job at a crumbling movie theater, a six-foot bong named The Bad Boy, and the looming threat of leaving it all behind for college.

The Bellevue Boys is a hilarious and heartfelt coming-of-age tale for anyone who ever rewound their favorite cassette, argued about the best Van Halen lineup, or wondered if love was worth skipping band practice for. Packed with Gen X flavor, this summer novel captures the end of an era—and the start of something way messier.
