adult contemporary gallery jealousy lyrical misunderstandings multiple musician new photographer poems timelines

Told across multiple timelines, Kaleidoscope Hearts is an achingly beautiful new adult romance that poetically explores the fractured nature of love.

When aspiring photographer Ava Santos gets the opportunity to work at an avant-garde art gallery, she jumps at the chance to pursue her dream and escape her troubled past. At the gallery's opening night, she meets the mysterious and magnetic musician Noah Hayes. As an undeniable connection sparks between them, the two wounded souls begin to open up to each other through impromptu poetry sessions and late-night conversations about art, music, and life.

But Noah's rock star lifestyle of touring, recording, and partying starts to unravel their relationship. As misunderstandings and jealousy arise, Ava and Noah struggle to hold on to the kaleidoscopic love they built together. They soon discover the only way to mend their fractured hearts is to bravely face the pain of the past.

Told across the 2020s and the 1920s in a lyrical style with poems inspired by the Beat Generation, Kaleidoscope Hearts is an earnest generation-defining romance that explores the complex nature of love and connection.

Their souls danced like jazz notes across the melancholy haze of the cafe. Her, a gifted ingénue longing for purpose. Him, a tortured poet searching for salvation in his art. Together, they created something extraordinary between sips of absinthe - a kaleidoscope love fractured by time yet still vividly gleaming.All Rights Reserved
