This was a hard one to finish and I was hoping to really like it but unfortunately, I didn't. I believe that it could really use a good work over and reissue.

Such a cute romatic young adult book, I have only really got into young adult book in the last few years and this one is defintely an amazing story. Stella is only looking for a autograph from the band but what happens next shows her that life has other plans for her. Oliver is the lead singer of the band The Heartbreakers and is drawn to Stella from the moment he set eyes on her. Though the book does have a serious under tone due to Stella's sister, which draws on a topic which isn't always told in young adult or adult books but the way the author wrtoe about it was very well written.

The Heartbreakers is a simple book and yet pretty. I enjoyed reading this one and I can't wait to get my own copy

I have a soft spot in my heart for popstar romances, and when they're done well in the YA sphere, it is absolutely AMAZING. The Heartbreakers is a wonderful and sweet story, full of serendipity and lots of fun. The ending got me a bit on edge, but all's well that ends well. And this story ends amazingly well.

Of course I'll be recommending this to lovers of YA contemporary. Rock star romances are so popular right now, and this one is another great one to add to the pile.

I've recommended this title to quite a number of students who enjoy romance. This story is every teen girl's fantasy, What young girl doesn't want to fall in love and be loved by a famous musician? The best part is that the writing and the story are strong and doesn't pander.

Once I started it I couldn't put it down. If I wasn't laughing from the witty scenes, I was swooning or wanting to scream! If i could described this book in one word it would be rollercoaster!

My Experience: I started reading The Heartbreakers on 6/14/17 and finished it on 6/16/17. This book started out great! It had a great sense of humor. I laughed a lot and was unable to put it down. It kept me turning the pages for sure! This book also makes me cry because it discussed about a family member going through cancer and how it affected everyone else in the family. I had to skip that part because it’s just too sad to read.

In this book, readers will follow the point of view of Stella Samuel, a high school graduate who has a passion for photography. Being a triplet is cute when they always stand out. People like to gawk at them and ask them many twin questions. They have a good laugh when they joke to others that they can read each other’s mind and feel each other’s pain. Taking great pictures is what sets Stella apart from her brother Drew, a jock, and Cara, a cheerleader. When Cara has cancer, Stella puts her life on hold because the college she wanted to go is far away in New York. Cara is obsess with a boy band called The Heartbreakers when Stella and Drew don’t. Since Cara is sick, she worries that she will never get to attend The Heartbreakers’ concert. Drew and Stella decided to go on a road trip from Minnesota to Chicago to obtain The Heartbreakers’ autograph as a surprise gift for Cara. Since Stella is not a fan of The Heartbreakers, she doesn’t know how the boys look like, so when she runs into one of them at Starbucks for her morning coffee stop, she doesn’t realize who he is until she sees him again at the signing. The signing closed by the time she reaches to the front of the line. She runs into the band members again at the hotel, but since she’s in a foul mood, she gives them an earful. Little did Stella know, she will one day become The Heartbreakers’ biggest fan, though, she has to travel through a bumpy road to get there.

I enjoyed the first half of the book a lot. I really like the humor in this book. The chicken fight is fun to read. I love the Cheetos ambush. It’s interesting to read about a famous band’s busy day to day tour schedule. I like Stella and her realistic thinking. She knows that photography can’t be made into a career and give herself a second route. I like Stella and her family. I like the boy band and their friendship. I like Oliver and his try at romance. I do still recommend everyone to read this book if you are looking for a book that will both make you laugh and cry!

Pro: family, humor, fast paced, easy to read, photography, friendship, finding oneself

Con: I skipped through the sadness because I don’t want to be sad

I rate it 4 stars!
