As Grace uncovers the Invisibles' secrets, she must work out a way to return home, before Wasteland traps her forever...

Stella never meant to fall for the lead singer of the Heartbreakers, but a chance encounter is making her rethink everything – including her own dreams.

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?

From Wattpad hit to globally-adored young adult romance, The Heartbreakers kicks off a delightful tale that perfectly balances humour, heart and romance. Fun, heartfelt and unafraid to tackle deeper issues, this is the binge-worthy YA hit as its known and loved – now in a beautiful new package!
