Books in the Backstage series in order

Det er sommer i Danmark, og Asta har lige været til koncert med sin veninde, Ida. Asta har brugt koncerten på at lade sig forføre – af stemningen, af musikken og ikke mindst af bandets flotte guitarist, som hun mere end én gang mener at have haft øjenkontakt med. Da Ida vil videre i byen, takker Asta nej. Et par nye sneakers har gnavet vabler i hælene på hende, og hun vil bare hjem. Alene foran stadion ser hun dog pludselig et kendt ansigt, der får hende på andre tanker … 'Koncerten' er en forsmag på 'Backstage' - en serie om musik og kærlighed - som udkommer i 2024. Novellen kan læses uafhængigt af serien.
