Description

From beloved Wattpad sensation Ali Novak, author of My Life with the Walter Boys, comes this never-before-published companion to The Heartbreakers, perfect for fans of Jenny Han and Kasie West

"I'm sorry," he said, slowly untying the ribbon that held his mask in place. "It's just—I didn't want you to think of me any differently."

Somehow I kept my mouth from falling open. I knew his face, but my mind couldn't accept that he was the person looking down at me.

"My real name is Alec."

Felicity has her entire future planned. Ever since her older sister ran away, she's had the full weight of her mother's expectations on her shoulders. So she works hard to get straight As and save for college.

Except sometimes the best things in life are unplanned—like when Felicity meets a handsome, masked stranger while she is volunteering at a charity masquerade ball. She never thought he'd flirt with her. And she certainly never thought he'd turn out to be a member of the world-famous Heartbreakers band, Alec.

Then Felicity uncovers a shocking family secret. Suddenly, she, Alec, and her two best friends are off on a road trip to find Felicity's missing sister. And she's about to discover that unexpected turns have a peculiar way of landing her right where she needs to be…

With a perfect balance of humor, heart, and romance, Paper Hearts is a great choice for readers looking for:

• fun contemporary romance for teens
• swoon-worthy Wattpad love stories
• romcoms that cover deeper issues like family and self-discovery
• binge-worthy YA novels

    I really liked how this book gave us a deeper insight into Alec, who I always thought was the most mysterious member. Also, Felicity is hilarious. Now, I really want Ali Novak to write a heartbreakers book about JJ. I can see it now. Sassy preacher’s kid finally tames JJ. Ha! I would definitely read that book. All-in-all, loved it. Can’t wait to see what Ali Novak writes next.
  • Amazing book!

    I just started reading the heartbreakers series and I can say that they have kept me up all night reading them.Even though there are only two books so far in the series the author not only gives you funny characters that you can relate to but she also gives you enough descriptions to feel as though you are actually in the book.I would recommend this book to any one who likes a good story line, funny characters, and a cute romance.For all of the people who believe in true love and good friendships then this would be a great book for you.I hope that the next book will be out soon!
  • YOU MUST READ IT!!

    Paper hearts is one of the best books I’ve ever read, I’m not gonna lie, it didn’t make me feel as much emotion as The Heartbreakers did, but it was so amazing. It always kept me on the edge of my seat

    This book sounded way too cute to resist requesting from NetGalley. Lucky for me, I was approved, and shortly thereafter dove in. Let me tell you, the story is as cute as the cover! I was once a fangirl who dreamed of falling in love with the cute boys in the boybands I obsessed over. Lucky Felicity in this story actually gets the chance! When Alec Williams, lead singer for The Heartbreakers accidentally spills his drink on her during a charity ball, an unlikely romance and adventure begins. Felicity likes Alec, but more important than starting a relationship, she wants to find her sister who disappeared three years ago. When she gets a lead on her sisters whereabouts, it's Alec to the rescue, driving her and her two best friends across 3 states. I loved the characters in this book. Felicity is very smart and driven, she doesn't think twice about Alec's fame and fortune. That means nothing to her. Alec is shy and quiet, nothing like she imagined from his public persona. Asha, Fel's best friend, is the ultimate fan girl. She makes questionable choices, but her heart is in the right place. Boomer, her other bestie, is great comedic relief as well. Each character was utterly their own person and I loved them all in their own ways. This is just an utterly feel good kinda book. The ending was very nicely done and everything came full circle. The only negative thing I can say is that there was a portion of the book that took place with the rest of Alec's band members and it just seemed to drag on and not move the story forward. Aside from that single scene, I loved this story and would love to read more from this series and this author!

    Felicity has come to a realization about someone in her family. A secret that has been hidden from her for quite some time. So naturally, she decides to take a road trip with her new friend. I wanted to really love this book. But it fell a little flat.  The first book in this series, The Heartbreakers I absolutely loved. It’s one of my favorites from last year. That being said, when I saw this. I wanted it and jumped right in. But I was a little disappointed. It didn’t have the magic that the first book had. I didn’t really connect with Felicity and the romance with Alec wasn’t believable to me.  Overall, I give this Two Boundless Stars. It was ok but could have been better.
  • Amazing book
