Riley Wynn went from a promising singer-songwriter to a superstar overnight, thanks to her breakup song concept album and its unforgettable lead single. When Riley's ex-husband claims the hit song is about him, she does something she hasn't in ten years and calls Max Harcourt, her college boyfriend, and the real inspiration for the song of the summer. Max hasn't spoken to Riley since their relationship ended. He's content with managing the retirement home his family owns, but it's not the life he dreamed of filled with music. When Riley asks him to go public as her song-writing muse, he agrees on one condition: he'll join her in her band on tour. As they perform across the country, Max and Riley start to realize that while they hit some wrong notes in the past, their future could hold incredible things. And their rekindled relationship will either last forever or go down in flames. From the authors of the The Roughest Draft and Do I Know You, Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka bring a new romance all about second chances with The Breakup Tour.
If The Breakup Tour was a song, it would be Long Live by Taylor Swift. It's deliciously zeitgeisty and so! much! fun! The Breakup Tour is at once sweet and angsty, full of music and second chances and talented people who make magic when they allow themselves to create art together. The perfect read for everyone who wants to relive the spectacular summer of The Eras Tour! -- Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author of Love, Theoretically
How fitting that a pair of writers in perfect harmony would create a story about music that comes from the heart! The Breakup Tour is like a song you cant stop humming - honest, sweet, and unforgettable. -- Jodi Picoult, New York Times bestselling author of Wish You Were on Do I Know You
You know that moment in a song when the drums first kick in When the music builds into an anthemic chorus When the bridge HITS with the emotional pulse of the whole song That was the journey Wibberley and Siegemund-Broka took me on with The Breakup Tour. I ached for all the reasons Max was saying no to the life he wasn't sure he deserved -- in the public eye, performing night after night. And all the reasons Riley had been saying yes for years, her talent and fame taking flight even as she couldn't forget the one person she'd left behind. I felt this one deep in my gut like the pounding bass of my favorite song.
With prose that sings, The Breakup Tour is an utterly romantic second chance story that will have you running for your closest Taylor Swift playlist as soon as Riley and Max reach their swoon-worthy HEA. Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka write with deep, nuanced emotion, and the poignant original lyrics they weave throughout the story only amplifies the characters journey. This is an absolute hit! -- Jessica Joyce, bestselling author of You, With a View
The Breakup Tour is the single most romantic book Ive ever read. Epic in its scope and wise in its emotional depth, it made me feel every breath and hear every perfect note. I devoured it.
Reading Wibberley and Siegemund-Brokas prose is like sliding into the crisp sheets of a
luxury hotel bed
