A24 just stopped internet traffic with their latest announcement: they're adaptating Holly Brickley's new book, Deep Cuts! It's one of the new books that made it to the top of our must-read list, so we're basically hyperventilating after learning Saoirse Ronan and Austin Butlerare starring in it! We'd watch anything they're in even if they don't have any lines because the brevity of their acting skills would speak for themselves. Though we'd love to focus on how much we admire these two actors, there's much more to learn about the Deep Cuts movie — and why it's such a big deal it's coming to theaters.

Deep Cuts cleverly depicts how love can be beautiful and chaotic when two people are as passionate about their goals as they are each other. With each page, readers are able to see how Percy Marks and Joe Morrow lose sight of each other as well as themselves the deeper they pursue careers in music. By the end of their story it's apparent they both longed for their voices to be in spotlight, for better or worse.
