The Heartbreakers by: Ali Novak

So I found this book randomly at a Target. When I read the back of it, and to be completely honest, I thought it sounded like the most cheesiest book ever. A girl talks badly about a famous band only to realize that one of the members is right there hearing everything she is saying. Then feelings start to happen and the girl is conflicted about it because it just so happens that her sister is dying of cancer. Now when you hear that storyline doesn't it sound like its going to be cheesy or at least close to it? 

I couldn't be more wrong. I was so intrigued to figure out what this book was about so I requested it from the library and read it in 2 days! This book is full of excitement and rawness that makes you not want to put it down. Of course there are the parts in the book where you start to think that in real life that probably wouldn't happen, but the book is like a realm for us to experience something we only thought would happen in our dreams. Falling in love with someone that we would normally never meet. 

Ali Novak is a writer that has some stories originally started on Wattpad.. a place where people can find books written by people just like ourselves. She has a book called, "My Life With The Walter Boys." Which I will be writing a post about later because it is extremely good! 

Stella is someone who wants to be there for the people that matter most in her life. She is a triplet to her brother named Drew and her sister whose name is Cara. Stella loves photography and she has a gift for capturing the moments that other people would overlook. Drew and Stella set out on a journey to get the perfect gift for Cara... Unfortunately that means that Stella has to wait in line for a band that she absolutely hates. Before they arrive to the location they go to a Starbucks. Stella meets a boy there and chats with him a bit before snapping a signature pic of him. Drew and Stella head to the signing where she waits... and waits... and waits. They end up not being able to get the things they wanted there and have to return to the hotel. Stella goes in the elevator and meets none other than the boy she met at Starbucks and the band that she has heard all about it. 

Throughout the story you see the different relationships change and you find out more about each of the characters. I didn't want to go too much into the plot but I definitely think if you like the simple romance type of stories that this one is for you. 

We all have a bit of Stella in us. We want to make the people we love happy and proud of us that sometimes we forget to make ourselves happy and proud. Dreams are what keeps us going and Stella for a long time, pushes away those dreams because she thinks her family needs her more. The people we love are there for us just like we are there for them. We may believe that whats best is to help the people around us, which is good, but sometimes we need to figure out what we want and go after it.

I hope you guys end up wanting to read this book and definitely go check out Wattpad if you want to find some unique stories that you can't find at the stores!


UPDATES: Today was a super fun day! I started it out bright and early dancing with some special people and we started our latest project which I am so excited for. This time I tried to not be so hard on myself because I use to not share my ideas because of the fear that they are stupid but I have let people in to a side that I usually only have in my room! My choreography side.. WOO! haha! So yeah that has been super fun! 

I got a new Dresser! Since putting up mirrors and a ballet barre, I have wanted to get a smaller dresser because I needed more room to dance in and I finally got one! It's been pretty exciting to be able to get up and dance in front of a mirror whenever I want! 

Thats all for now! 

Until Next Time,
