This week I wanted to share an upcoming YA book that I am looking forward to!
I am a big fan of music, especially of the country variety. I enjoy stories about musicians and their complicated life in and out of the spotlight. When I heard about Miranda Kenneally’s Jesse’s Girl I knew I had to add it to my list.
Everyone at Hundred Oaks High knows that career mentoring day is a joke. So when Maya Henry said she wanted to be a rock star, she never imagined she’d get to shadow *the* Jesse Scott, Nashville’s teen idol.
But spending the day with Jesse is far from a dream come true. He’s as gorgeous as his music, but seeing all that he’s accomplished is just a reminder of everything Maya’s lost: her trust, her boyfriend, their band, and any chance to play the music she craves. Not to mention that Jesse’s pushy and opinionated. He made it on his own, and he thinks Maya’s playing back up to other people’s dreams. Does she have what it takes to follow her heart—and go solo?
