Breathing Underwater

2001

by Alex Flinn

Like father, like son. Intelligent, popular, handsome, and wealthy, sixteen-year-old Nick Andreas is pretty much perfect—on the outside, at least. What no one knows—not even his best friend—is the terror that Nick faces every time he is alone with his father.

Then he and Caitlin fall in love, and Nick thinks his problems are over. Caitlin is the one person who he can confide in. But when things start to spiral out of control, Nick must face the fact that he's gotten more from his father than green eyes and money.

Fame. Money. Glory. These were all the things that you would expect from being famous. The bait that the producers of the industry would tempt you with to get you on their side.

What they don't tell you, though, are all the inner tragedies that come along just as quickly. They don't tell you about the heartache that occurs when you realize that this wasn't what you wanted at all. They don't tell you about the pressure that's always on the verge of crushing you when you're forced to do everything that the public demands and not what you truly desire. They don't tell you about the self-hatred that would soon take over your entire being at the thought that you will never be good enough.

No - they don't tell you these things at all. But, Lilith Rose will.

Lilith Rose, lead singer of one of the most famous rock bands around, gets tired of all the lies and secrets that come with being famous. She decides that it's time for all of it to stop and ends up revealing everything on a Facebook live stream.

The result... "Part of me wants to die tonight, part of me wants it to be an accident, and part of me wants someone to notice and save me." - Lilith Rose.
