‘Crazy love makes people do crazy things…’

Romeo and Juliet meets Romper Stomper in this compelling love story about the ‘perfect’ prefect who falls for a rebellious bad boy in Tasmania’s underworld.

A dux with her grades but naïve in love, Hanna’s ‘fairytale’ hopes seem desolate when she winds up at a wild party with her bestie—and the notorious Westside Boyz.

There, she ‘bumps’ into Brodie, an irresistible yet troubled young man determined to escape his past. Hanna and Brodie find common ground in a captivating journey of self-discovery, falling crazy in love as they defy Hanna’s parents and pursue their romance in secret. But Brodie carries secrets of his own, and tensions rise as Hanna’s spiteful peers jeopardise her school performance—and apparently her ‘dignity.’

When a drug bust results in Brodie owing a crippling debt, Hanna is targeted and the two embark down a dangerous road. Risking it all for love proves perilous. With challenges mounting and time running out, Hanna and Brodie must decide if their love can survive.

“Bad Boyz – Fire in the stars delves into realistic coming of age dilemmas packed with heart-warming connections and gritty Aussie humour. A very engaging read that had me until the end!”
