About this listen

The official origin story of LiS fan-favourite Steph Gingrich featuring LGBTQ+ romance, inevitable heartbreak, and the punk-rock beginnings of Drugstore Makeup.

Setting the stage for her appearance in Life Is Strange: True Colors, this official Steph Gingrich novel sheds light on the Drugstore Makeup years and the story of how Steph crash-landed in Haven Springs, Colorado.

Steph Gingrich has finally run out of couches to surf. Now she’s back at her dad’s place in Seattle to figure out what she wants to do with the rest of her life.

When running an RPG session for her local gamer café, Steph meets Izzie. Izzie is electric: a punk, a girl who likes girls, and a hella good guitarist. Steph finds the punk life is exactly what she needs, she loves the music, the art and the fashion, but most of all she likes the girl. Entranced, she offers to drum for Izzie, forming the band Drugstore Makeup.

A hit in more ways than one, Drugstore Makeup compete in a battle of the bands before deciding to tour the offbeat punk venues of America. But Steph and Izzie soon find themselves on different wavelengths, unable to communicate, and wanting different things.

admittedly Steph isn't one of the most compelling characters in LIS. I feel like from the games she's just known for being the gay side character who likes D&D. I know LIS is a franchise known for its queerness but I felt like we were reminded of it every few minutes. I'm queer myself but I felt Steph was a walking gay caricature, that kept saying the equivalent of "by the way, I'm lesbian and being lesbian is very good." She would be more compelling if she had a bit more nuance.
just wish there were novels about the more interesting central characters like Sean and Daniel, Chloe and Max, and Kate.

Did you know Steph is lesbian?

Loved to get more story about and with Steph. And I love how this book connects the paths of Arcadia bay and Haven springs.

Love love love

A fantastic companion to the LIS story. If you are a fan of the LIS world this is a must. As someone who has played all the games and read the comic's I welcome further stories about this world. Steph is a character that deserves her own game but I think this book is a fantastic way to expand Steph as a character and fill in a lot of blanks between the before the storm and true colours. All the better that it is voiced by Steph's actual voice actor. 5/5

LIS universe expands
