The Future Saints
ByPublisher Description
A most anticipated book from Goodreads, Woman's World, Brit + Co, and more!
For fans of Daisy Jones and the Six and In Five Years—a powerful, and transportive new novel about a music executive desperately trying to bring a rock band back from the brink, from bestselling author Ashley Winstead.
The best love stories are the ones you don’t expect.
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.
Immediately, Theo is struck by Hannah, the group’s impetuous lead singer, who’s gone off script by debuting a whole new sound, replacing their California pop with gut-wrenching rock. When this new music goes viral, striking an unexpected chord with fans, Theo puts his career on the line to give the Saints one last shot at success with a new tour, new record, and new start.
But Hannah’s grief has larger consequences for the group, and her increasingly destructive antics become a distraction as she and her sister Ginny—her lifelong partner in crime—undermine Theo at every turn. Hannah isn’t ready to move on or prepared for the fame she’s been chasing, and the weight of her problems jeopardize the band, her growing closeness with Theo, and, worst of all, her relationship with her sister—all while the world watches closely. The Future Saints’s big break is here—if only they can survive it.
A novel about sisterhood, friendship, and the ghosts that haunt us, The Future Saints is “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).

“I’ve heard this book be compared to Daisy Jones and the Six which isn’t a good comparison if you’re a fan of that book. The only similarity is that they’re both about a band.
TFS is a good book but it focuses more on the grief of losing a loved one rather than a love story. There is a small love plot but it wasn’t as big as I was expecting, which was disappointing. The author did a really good job with writing the band mates’ chemistry but when it came to Hannah and Theo, I didn’t think they had any connection whatsoever. The constant mention of TikTok and social media really pulled me out of the story, even though I understand that it was necessary because that’s where the band got all of their recognition.
I did, however, appreciate the snippets of articles about the band in between chapters. I thought that was a really fun and realistic way to set up the next chapter. I also thought it was cute how Theo and Hannah had dual POVs. I liked alternating between the characters’ minds. I also really appreciated Theo’s character development and how he ended up focusing more on repairing his relationship with his mom than seeking approval from his dad.
Overall I gave this book 3 stars because it was a pretty quick read but the writing style was a little too simple for me to fully enjoy and I would’ve liked to see Theo and Hannah’s relationship fleshed out a bit more.”
