The Heartbreakers
by Novak, Ali
Stella is just an ordinary girl who happens to be a massive fan of the world famous band, The Heartbreakers. When she unexpectedly finds herself crossing paths with the lead singer, Oliver Perry, the fantasy of celebrity life clashes with the messy, grounded reality of her own existence. This is a story about the transition from idolizing someone from afar to understanding the person behind the stage persona. It captures the frantic energy of summer, the nervous excitement of a first real connection, and that specific, dizzying feeling of being seen by someone you never thought would notice you. If you are looking for a breezy, earnest romance that perfectly nails the behind-the-scenes trope without losing its sweet, coming-of-age heart, this is your next weekend read.
