Title: Plastic Jesus
Author: Poppy Z. Brite
Genre: faux-biofic, mm romance
Summary: The 1960’s brought Seth and Payton all they’d fantasized about — perfect friendships, a successful four-man band, and most importantly, each other. Together they embarked on a tour that brought them stimulating highs and shattering lows, and they prospered and suffered in one another’s arms. The two men carried each other and carried a group that created both a history and a future for rock. But at some point their music blurred with the news of their love and the world was faced with the choice to embrace its heroes or revert back to its deep-rooted prejudices.

Based on the Beatles, I found this a very interesting “What if…” Wonderfully written, fairly short, and the edition I read had some pen-drawn illustrations.
A quick-read, it’s one of those books that everyone should read once. If you like the Beatles anyway, and really wish that John and Paul could be more than friends. Though this isn’t the Beatles, of course, this is Seth and Payton. Two guys that just seem very familiar.
If you don’t like m/m, then this is not for you. If you do like m/m, this is an interesting story.
It’s kind of like she took her fanfic, changed a few names around, then published it to a world of AWESOME.
