Heartstrings

The long-awaited third book in the The Heartbreak Chronicles series from Ali Novak, author of the internationally bestselling novel and Netflix series My Life with the Walter Boys!

Indigo "Indie" Mitchell-Jamiolkowski loves the art of SFX makeup—creating fantastical illusions with paints and prosthetics—and wishes she could make monsters and zombies for a living. But her sister, Violet, is a TV actress whose career has blown up big and become its own kind of monster. It's affected everything: their parents have split; their dad's too busy being Violet's manager, and now Indie's been drafted into being her sister's personal assistant. Talk about being overshadowed.

But Indie is about to meet someone who can relate. Of all people, it's Xander Jones, guitarist of the world famous band the Heartbreakers. Yet he constantly plays second fiddle to the band’s bigger personalities. At a hectic comic con where she's fetching bottled water for her sister, Indie notices Xander behind the scenes—and he notices her, too.

Indie knows Xander deserves to step out of the shadows. What if she could find the courage to do the same? Can she defy others' expectations of her, become a makeup artist, and make her dream job more than a fantasy? And will she and Xander become more than friends?
