In 2011, Grace Pine moves to Montreal to write a book about Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill. She's twenty-four, a music critic trying to figure herself out in a French-speaking city where she doesn't speak a word of French. Then she meets Archie and Chevy, two members of an aspiring indie rock band, and finds herself romantically tangled with both of them while taking a job as their publicist. A coming-of-age story about the mess of being young, female, and ambitious in a male-dominated music scene.
