The Heartbreakers

The Heartbreakers by Ali Novak is the first book that I read through NetGalley. It was the first of the books I requested to be approved by the publisher and I was really excited to start reading. I have to say I was not disappointed.

The book is about an 18-year-old girl called Stella, who is one of three siblings. Two girls and a boy, who just happen to be triplets. Her identical twin sister, Cara, has been fighting cancer for a number of years and her health is deteriorating as they come up to their 18th birthday.

Stella and her brother, Drew, think it would be a brilliant idea to take a road trip and get Cara’s favourite band, The Heartbreakers, to sign a CD for her, despite the fact that they both despise the famous boyband.

Trying Something New

I recently discovered a website called NetGalley. The site is aimed at publishers and ‘professional readers’. Now I’ve never considered myself a ‘professional’ reader before, despite the fact that I’ve loved reading for as long as I can remember. However, according to NetGalley, anyone who likes to, ‘review and recommend books online, in print, for your bookstore, library patrons, blog readers, or classroom’ is considered a ‘professional reader’. I found this extremely cool and am definitely planning on adding it to my list of skills/achievements on Facebook.
