Redline Hearts

Redline Hearts is a long-form coming-of-age drama that follows the lives of global pop star Sabrina Carpenter and rising racing prodigy Addy Andrews, a 17-year-old Formula driver, musician, and actress trying to balance fame with a normal teenage life.

Set across more than a decade, the story begins in 2023 with a tense first meeting that sparks immediate dislike and rivalry. Sabrina sees Addy as overly confident and impossible to relate to, while Addy refuses to shrink herself to fit anyone's expectations. Their conflict deepens when Sabrina indirectly chooses her ex, Barry, over Addy-turning a strained first impression into something far more personal.

As the years unfold, the novel explores:

Addy's struggle to juggle high school, global fame, and the pressure of becoming one of the greatest drivers in motorsport
Her identity, grief over her mother's death, and the meaning behind her tattoos and music
The rise of her band, True Blood, and the chaos behind the scenes
The intense world of racing, from IMSA dominance with BMW to the cutthroat reality of Formula 1
Lingering rivalries, including unresolved tension with former teammate Alexander Sims
And most importantly, the evolving, complicated relationship between Sabrina and Addy-shifting from rivalry and resentment to something neither of them expected

At its core, Redline Hearts is about ambition, identity, loss, and connection-set against the high-speed backdrop of racing and the emotional highs and lows of fame. It asks what it really means to be "the best," and what you might lose while trying to become it.
