Meet The Heartbreak Chronicles

And, of course, there’s music.
From unexpected meetings with members of the famous band The Heartbreakers to behind-the-scenes adventures, the series brings a little bit of rock-star excitement to contemporary YA romance.
1. The Heartbreakers
It all begins with The Heartbreakers.
Stella has no intention of getting caught up in the world of a famous boy band. But after an unexpected meeting with The Heartbreakers, her life quickly takes an exciting turn.
What starts with a simple mission soon becomes a whirlwind of music, friendship and romance. As Stella gets closer to the band, she has to navigate the excitement of falling for someone famous while dealing with challenges in her own family life.
It’s a fun, feel-good introduction to the world of The Heartbreak Chronicles, with plenty of humour, heart and romantic chemistry.
2. Paper Hearts
The story continues in Paper Hearts, where relationships become more complicated and emotions run deeper.
With fame still playing a part in their lives, the characters have to deal with questions of trust, love and growing up. The romance is joined by plenty of friendship and emotional moments, making this a great next read for anyone who enjoyed the first book.
If you love stories where relationships aren't always straightforward, Paper Hearts brings plenty of twists and heartfelt moments.
3. Heartstrings
In Heartstrings, the series turns its attention to Indigo — or Indie — a talented aspiring special-effects makeup artist who is trying to find her own path while living in the shadow of her famous sister.
Things become even more interesting when she meets Xander Jones, the sweet guitarist of The Heartbreakers. Xander understands what it feels like to be overlooked within a world full of bigger personalities, and the two quickly discover that they have more in common than they expected.
As Indie considers her future and her dreams, she must find the confidence to step out of the shadows and decide what she really wants.
