The Future Saints by Ashley Winstead Publishes 1/20/26

 

This was a slow burn romance about the music industry and grief.  The Future Saints are a band who have recently lost their manager, Ginny, the lead singer's sister. Hannah does not know how to deal with the death of her sister so she channels it into drinking and her sister.  One night when their new manager is watching them play at a dive bar, Hannah pours all her grief into a song which causes the band to go viral.  The band catapults into fame but they still have many demons to face.  This story is about the trials and tribulations they go through as well as about Theo, their manager.  

There were a lot of different elements to this novel.  There was the romance between Hannah and Theo.  I learned a lot about the music industry and just how rough it can be.  However the major part of this story was the relationship between Hannah and her dead sister.  It was a good story and I think if you love stories with main characters trying to overcome a lot you will gravitate towards this book.  For me I just had trouble connecting to Hannah.  I felt for her but I found Theo the more interesting character.  This book also dragged a little in different parts.  Overall, I do think this is a good story.
