Summary
Set in the punk-rock scene of the early 2000s and vibrating with the intense ache of bad choices and deep longing, a needle-sharp portrait of a young woman and how far she’ll go to find acceptance
Kat is dying to be accepted by the North Carolina punks; she is totally desperate to seem cool. At a punk show, she ends up backstage with a rock star and gets noticed by a photojournalist. And then—a dream come true for Kat—her reputation as a groupie icon skyrockets. But to maintain this notoriety, Kat makes a series of devastating choices, and soon enough, she becomes unrecognizable to herself and others.
Tea Hacic-Vlahovic’s A Cigarette Lit Backwards is a sometimes funny, often brutally honest audiobook about ambition and self-discovery and how a world of glamour and cool exerts its bold and breathless pull. In prose that seduces, glitters, and exhilarates, Tea Hacic-Vlahovic has written a story that is both a wild party and a somber reckoning, consolidating her status as a thrilling and essential new voice for our time.

Memories from another life
Kat and her scene brought me back memories I didn’t know I had. Like omg what a significant time I’m sure we all have aged 16, this just super spoke to me. Punk is not dead!
