The Heartbreakers

Heartbreak Chronicles Series #1

By: Ali Novak

Narrated by: Arielle DeLisle

Length: 8 hrs and 36 mins

Publisher's summary

Stella will do anything for her sick sister, Cara - even stand in line for an autographed Heartbreakers CD 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, the 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?

An Awesome Reread

Read this book back in 2015 and I wanted to revisit. still just as cute as I remember it being.

Absolutely Adorable!!!

Its been a long time since i've finished a rom/com YA book and thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end. I laughed, cried, and completely connected as well as fell in love with each character. the funny thing is the story isnt exactly original nor mind blowing, but that didnt stop my heart from skipping a beat and swooning left and right. it had its eye roll moments with some of the cheesyness and facepalming one liners but over all it was a charming quick read and the narration from Arielle DeLisle was excellently executed. i truelly felt like she captured Stella's voice.

I loved it

loved it ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ 💕 💕 😁 😉 💘

I cried!!!!!

I have no words to type, all I know is I can’t wait for her to continue to write about Oliver and Stella!

I think by far they are my favorite Heartbreaker couple.

If you are thinking about listening to do this DO IT!

Fantastic, sweet story

I fell in love with Ali Novak's book, My Life With the Walter Boys, so I thought I'd give this one a try too. I'm really glad I did, because not only was it a beautiful book to read, but it's one I can share with my daughter without hesitation.

My new bff

This book was a phenomenal success. It will work for any purpose to become your favorite of all time

Sweet

At first I didn't think I would finish this but I hate giving up on a book. I'm glad I didn't because it was nice getting to know everyone. I could definitely relate to only being seen as one of a trio and not an individual. That was nice. I like the ups and downs of the relationships in this book. I especially liked the song at the end and how it was Oliver and Stellla's secret. I'm really glad I finished The Heartbreakers. Now I'm excited to listen to the next book.

I love this book

I can't believe how emotional it is and I would LOVE IF A MOVIE WAS MADE IM BEGGING YOU TO MAKE ONE!!!

Audible I'm begging you to contact Ali Novak and tell her this it is so amazing AND PLEASE MAKE A MOVIE IT WPULD BE EVEN MORE AWESOME

Thank You,

Good Fan/Star Romance

This was a fairly clean romance story (except for some heavy make-out sessions). The language wasn’t too bad. The MC met the pop star to get an autograph for her sick fan sister. Then she realized she’d already met the guy. She wasn’t a fan. But situations changed.

I loved the ending. Very satisfying.

A Sweet, Quick, Cheesy book!

To my surprise, I really liked this book! I usually read the complex, action-packed books, that have 500 pages. And yes, The Heartbreakers is definitely not a thrilling or complicated story. So, I will admit there were many cringe worthy cheesy moments. And it was all very predictable. Another flaw was the narrator. I liked her, but a lot of the characters sounded the same. However, the book made me smile all the way through! By the end, you'll be wishing Oliver was your boyfriend! I loved how the story focused on each character and Cara's cancer, while telling a love story! I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a quick, funny, sweet book that will make you happy for hours!
