About this book

From Ali Novak, author of My Life with the Walter Boys, comes this swoon-worthy YA romcom about a teen who accidentally falls for the lead singer of a world-famous band, perfect for fans of Jenny Han and Lynn Painter!

"When I wasn't reading this book, it was all I wanted to be doing. Adorably romantic and fun! I loved it." -Kasie West, author of The Distance Between Us

When I met Oliver Perry, I had no clue he was the lead singer for The Heartbreakers. And he had no idea that I was the only girl in the world who hated his music.

Stella will do anything for her sick sister, Cara-even stand in line for autographed Heartbreakers merch...for four hours. She's totally winning best birthday gift this year. At least she met a cute boy with soft brown hair and gorgeous blue eyes while getting her caffeine fix. Too bad she'll never see him again.

Except, Stella's life has suddenly turned into a cheesy love song. Because Starbucks Boy is Oliver Perry-lead singer for the Heartbreakers. And even after she calls his music crap, Oliver still gives Stella his phone number. And whispers quotes from her favorite Disney movie in her ear. OMG, what is her life?

But how can Stella even think about being with Oliver-dating and laughing and pulling pranks with the band-when her sister could be dying of cancer?

First a hit on the online community Wattpad, Ali Novak's second novel has over 38 million reads and is loved by readers around the world.

With a perfect balance of humor, heart, and romance, The Heartbreakers is a great choice for readers looking for-
fun contemporary romance for teens
romcoms that cover deeper issues like family, illness, and self-discovery
binge-worthy YA novels
