Paris, late 90s: at the centre of the city's queer techno scene, musician Louise lives in a haze of parties, drugs and hooking up. A group of women orbits her magnetic DJ ex-girlfriend Alex; as they bar hop, go to each other's sets and climb into each other's beds, Louise struggles to make rent and work on her own electronic music.

Then comes what should be her big moment: Louise gets a life-changing record contract, but she has no idea what she wants. Pulled between her ex-boyfriend Nikki and her old life in rock bands and a volatile new crush in her techno world, Louise begins careening off the rails, leaving chaos in her wake.

Raw, caustic and pulsing with the music that enraptured a generation, Superstars is an electrifying immersion in Paris's 90s rave scene by a cult author who lived it all.

90s lesbian chaos a la Valencia by Michelle Tea but if it were French and everyone were a DJ and/or a rockstar. Messy and scandalous and hedonistic and full of unlikeable queers screwing/screwing over each other against the backdrop of the Parisian techno scene. The protagonist is kind of vile but this was possibly one of my favourite reads of the year so far???
