    Ella never expected to steal the spotlight when she joined her famous brother's band on tour - or for Max, her childhood crush, to finally see her as more than just his best friend's sister.
        
                                                                              *****
        
        19-year-old Ella Walker has spent her whole life backstage. While her older brother Rory commands the spotlight as part of a world-famous band, Ella spends her time scribbling lyrics in her notebook where no one can see. And she's okay with that - mostly. But when Ella tags along on the band's next tour, she realizes maybe she doesn't want to just be known as Rory's sister anymore. Especially when it comes to Max Bentley, Rory's hot best friend and bandmate who Ella has had a crush on for years. So when Ella gets the chance to step into the spotlight herself, she takes it, throwing her life (and the band) into unexpected chaos. Ella has never had the courage to tell Max how she feels, but the tension is building on tour, and neither of them are prepared for what will happen when it breaks.
