The best love stories are the ones you don’t expect.
When record executive Theo meets the Future Saints, they’re bombing at a dive bar in their hometown. Since the tragic death of their manager, the band has been in a downward spiral and Theo has been dispatched to coax a new—and successful—album out of them, or else let them go.
Immediately, Theo is struck by Hannah, the group’s impetuous lead singer, who’s gone off script by debuting a whole new sound, replacing their California pop with gut-wrenching rock. When this new music goes viral, striking an unexpected chord with fans, Theo puts his career on the line to give the Saints one last shot at success with a new tour, new record, and new start.
But Hannah’s grief has larger consequences for the group, and her increasingly destructive antics become a distraction as she and her sister Ginny—her lifelong partner in crime—undermine Theo at every turn. Hannah isn’t ready to move on or prepared for the fame she’s been chasing, and the weight of her problems jeopardize the band, her growing closeness with Theo, and, worst of all, her relationship with her sister—all while the world watches closely. The Future Saints’s big break is here—if only they can survive it.
A novel about sisterhood, friendship, and the ghosts that haunt us, The Future Saints is “a mesmerizing look at grief, love, and the music industry that's so raw and emotional, you’ll want to play it on repeat” (Laura Hankin, author of One-Star Romance).

The Future Saints isn't just a book about a band on the brink of fame; it’s a stunningly raw exploration of how grief can either silence you or force you to scream at the top of your lungs.
Hannah is such a brilliantly messy, complicated protagonist—her descent into a darker, heavier sound following a personal loss felt so authentic and painful. The chemistry between her and Theo (the 'Grim Reaper' of the label) was the perfect slow-burn, but it’s the bond of sisterhood and the 'ghosts' of the industry that really stole the show for me. I loved the inclusion of social media clips and interviews; it made the band's viral rise feel incredibly real. This book will break your heart and then piece it back together with a killer guitar riff. If you loved Almost Famous or Daisy Jones, put this at the top of your TBR immediately.
