The official origin story of LiS fan-favorite 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.

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.

Goodreads review by Emily on March 13, 2023

3.7 ⭐️ FINALLY!! So glad to see more trans lesbian MC’s! A solid edition to the Life is Strange universe I can’t tell you HOW excited I was to get my hands on this.

Goodreads review by Krissy on July 10, 2024

Goodreads review by Dahlen on April 29, 2025

This book somehow balances being full millennial humor and 2014 tumblr humor, and I spent a solid 60% of the audio book cringing and fighting not to even log it because it was so embarrassingly cringe.

The first time in a long time I’ve sat and read a full book in a day. This was such a nice departure from what I’ve been reading at the moment and such a nice way to tell Steph’s story inbetween the LIS games. I really enjoyed getting to know her more and just how things had affected her in the time......more
