What to expect
THE NEW ROMANCE NOVEL FROM TIKTOK SENSATION ASHLEY WINSTEAD.
'The Future Saints is not to be missed.' Annabel Monaghan, author of Nora Goes Off Script
A band on the brink. A love worth playing for.
When record executive Theo meets the Future Saints, they're bombing at a dive bar in their hometown. Since the tragic death of their manager, the band has been in a downward spiral and Theo has been dispatched to coax a new – and successful – album out of them, or else let them go.
Theo is struck right away by Hannah, the group’s impetuous lead singer, who has gone off script in debuting a new song—and, in fact, a whole new sound. Theo's supposed to get the band back on track, but when their new music garners an even wider fan base than before, the plans begin to change—new tour, new record, new start.
But Hannah’s descent into grief has larger consequences for the group, and she’s not willing to let go yet… not for fame or love.
For fans of Daisy Jones and the Six and In Five Years, this is a love story – just not the one you’re expecting.
'A mesmerizing look at grief, love, and the music industry that's so raw and emotional, you'll want to play it on repeat.' Laura Hankin, author of One-Star Romance
'Has all the charm of [Winstead's] romances and propulsion of her thrillers... Fans of Daisy Jones and the Six will eat this one up!' Genevieve Wheeler, author of Adelaide

'An emotionally charged rock ‘n’ roll love story… this one leaves a mark.'
Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
-
'An enemies-to-lovers romance set in the richly evoked world of the music business… the romance checks all the boxes, and the music industry setting is done more vividly and believably than in similar novels… a solid entry in the ever-more-popular category of music-biz lit, pulled off with notable élan.'
Kirkus

'Powerful and propulsive, The Future Saints hits all the right notes. Ashley Winstead has written a mesmerizing look at grief, love, and the music industry that's so raw and emotional, you'll want to play it on repeat. I raced through, stopping only to underline my favorite quotes.'
Laura Hankin, author of One-Star Romance and The Daydreams
-
'A (quite literally) haunting exploration of grief, self-destruction, and fame, Ashley Winstead's The Future Saints is, unsurprisingly, a masterpiece. It has all the charm of her romances and propulsion of her thrillers, packaged up in a beautifully crafted, transportative work of literary fiction that's perfect for anyone who has ever had a complex relationship with family (biological or found), spent their summers at Warped Tour, or fallen in love with someone young and reckless. Fans of Daisy Jones and the Six will eat this one up!'
Genevieve Wheeler, author of Adelaide

'I absolutely loved this gem of a novel. It pairs darkness and light so well, and left me feeling seen, understood and hopeful. The characters are so well-drawn, and they felt like my friends by the end of it . . . It's clear to me that Ashley put her heart and soul into this book, and I'm so grateful I got to experience it.'
Bianca Gillam, author of Bad Publicity
