Hearts on Rewind - A 90s YA Romance Novel

Mia Turner speaks in mixtapes. Her best friend, Aiden, listens in silent, perfect understanding. But in the fall of 1998, a new song begins to play. Mia's world is a carefully curated collection of cassette tapes, Polaroid photos, and the easy, unshakable bond she shares with Aiden. Their friendship is a language built over a lifetime. But as the static of senior year looms, a glitch disrupts their perfect tracklist: Chase Miller.
With a leather jacket and a damaged motorcycle, Chase is the human equivalent of a feedback screech. He's loud, mysterious, and sees Mia not as a comfortable friend, but as a challenge. He doesn't make mixtapes; he makes confessions on magnetic tape, pulling her into a world of raw, exciting noise. Caught between the boy who knows her heart and the boy who makes it race, Mia finds herself at a crossroads.
Aiden expresses his feelings in the quiet lines of his sketchbook. Chase shouts his from across a crowded arcade. When a secret admirer begins leaving anonymous notes and a stolen drawing shatters a sacred trust, Mia is forced to confront the ultimate question:Is true love the loud, catchy chorus everyone hears? Or the quiet song that's been playing all along?A clean, heartfelt YA romance perfect for fans of nostalgic, character-driven stories.
Step back into the 90s with this unforgettable tale of first love, friendship, and the soundtracks that define us.
