Becoming Hysteric

A Standalone Rock Star Romance

By: Kristen Hope Mazzola

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

From Wall Street Journal & USA Today bestselling author Kristen Hope Mazzola comes a raw, emotional rock-romance prequel that reveals the heartbreak that started it all.

I used to think high school drama was the worst life could throw at me.
I was wrong.

Leilani Pearson was my best friend’s sister—
off-limits, too good for me, and the only girl who ever made my world tilt off its axis.
One stolen kiss turned into a secret relationship.
A forbidden love built on passion, promises, and the kind of dreams only teenagers dare to believe in.

We thought we had forever.
We were wrong about that too.

One moment ended everything—
and left me standing in the wreckage with nothing but her memory
and the echo of a future we never got to live.

From the ashes, we became The Hysterics—
a band built on grief, loyalty, and a vow to turn pain into something louder than the silence she left behind.

Becoming Hysteric is a gripping, emotional rock-romance prequel about first love, found family, tragedy, and the spark that launched a band destined for greatness.

It ends where their story begins.
For readers who crave heartbreaking romance, raw emotion, and angsty origin stories… this is where it all starts.
