Question about this title

"Everything that glows eventually burns out."
Helena has a weakness for romance novels. And a strength for writing. Her dream comes true when she is offered a place at the renowned artists' boarding school Schloss Sankt Zander. And her romance novels become reality when she meets Arthur, a daredevil indie singer with a broken soul. Helena has the feeling that she has landed in a true romance novel: walks on the beach together, secret meetings on the castle grounds - everything is beautiful and pink and glittery. But why is Art sometimes so controlling? And why doesn't he respond to her messages? Romance novels always have a happy ending - don't they?

Writer meets indie band singer
What happens when love is beautiful but toxic? In her first book for young people, SPIEGEL best-selling author Gabriella Santos de Lima sensitively shows that happy endings in real life don't always look like those in books.
