Three girls from a small English town-Izzy Cruz, Ellie Harper, and Chloe Reeves-step into The X Factor with one dream: to make their band, Velvet Riot, the next big thing.
But Bootcamp isn't just about talent-it's about surviving. Between sleepless rehearsals, crushing pressure, and unexpected connections, Izzy finds herself tangled in something far messier than stage lights and fame.
A cocky Irish boy named Niall Horan seems determined to get under her skin. A quiet, magnetic guy named Zayn Malik makes her heart skip in ways she can't explain. Her best friend Chloe falls for the sweet, focused Liam Payne, and the ever-charming Harry Styles confesses he's falling for someone he's not supposed to.
Before One Direction was a band, before anyone was famous, they were just teenagers with big dreams-and even bigger feelings.
Some hearts will rise.
Some will break.
And for Izzy, it all starts with a microphone, a stage, and one very fateful audition.
