This was super fun. I seriously adore every member of the heartbreakers. Stella and Oliver are so adorable. This is the exact type of story people read as a feel good, light summer read. Super cute. (And I hope there's more of Stella and Oliver in later books)

Honestly....not worth my time. WAYYYYYYY TO CRINGEY!!! And frankly all the language... not necessary!!! The only reason why it is a two-star book, is because the characters grew on me (especially Alec).

4.5. Such a cute story. I’ve decided my favorite plot is when an average girl gets to date a member of a boy band. This book is what I wanted Grace and the Fever to be like (don’t get me started on that book.) It was the perfect mix of light and dark moments. I can’t wait to start the next book in the series!
