"somehow, it always feels better with you."
✮ Before the fame, before the world tours, before the screaming crowds... there were just four boys and three girls who swore they'd never leave each other. Until everything burned to the ground.
A cheating scandal that cut too deep.
A stolen song that turned one band into legends... and left the other behind.
BADBLOOMS never recovered. 5SOS never looked back.
And Isla Monroe has spent years pretending she's over him.
Now her band is one flop away from disappearing for good, and their last shot hinges on touring with the very boys they hoped to avoid forever. Luke Hemmings is back: older, colder, and still the only person who sees straight through Isla.
Thrown into rehearsals, media training, and a spotlight eager to dig up old wounds, Isla is forced to walk a tightrope between truth and performance.
Onstage, they're supposed to be professionals.
Offstage, they're a disaster waiting to happen.
And as the world tour looms, every secret becomes a ticking bomb.
Some heartbreaks make you famous.
Some histories never let you go.
And the past always comes to collect.
