About this book
The Party King Billy Brooks was living his best life in the neon-soaked 80s and 90s—until one fateful choice derailed everything. This dual-timeline story follows the rise and fall of a charismatic party legend, flashing between his glory days as the king of the underground DJ scene and his present-day reality as a broke, estranged 50-year-old. Watch as young Billy navigates suspended college dreams, discovers the intoxicating thrill of the party circuit, and faces an unexpected love that challenges him to grow up—only to see how those decisions ripple through the decades. It's a nostalgia-drenched, bittersweet journey that explores what happens when you have to reckon with the person you became versus the person you could have been.
