Publisher Description
Practice makes perfect.
Everyone at Hundred Oaks High knows that career mentoring day is a joke. So when Maya 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?
Praise for Miranda Kenneally’s Breathe, Annie, Breathe:
“[An] expertly paced and realistic romance.”—Booklist, starred review
“Heartfelt, uplifting, and quite possibly enough motivation to make readers reach for their running shoes.” —Publisher’s Weekly
"Breathe, Annie, Breathe is an emotional, heartfelt, and beautiful story about finding yourself after loss and learning to love. Her best book yet." —Jennifer L. Armentrout, New York Times bestselling author of Wait for You
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Kenneally s (Breathe, Annie, Breathe) breezy romance, 17-year-old Maya Henry a self-taught, 1980s-obsessed musician gets a rare opportunity. As part of her school s career day, Maya is sent to shadow Jesse Scott, a wildly successful Nashville country singer, whose uncle happens to be her school principal. Though Maya isn t a country fan, she used to have a poster of Jesse hanging in her bedroom, and she hopes that he may be able to help her career. Jesse s defensive, stuck-up attitude initially turns her off, but he has his reasons: he feels isolated in his celebrity and has become distrustful of other people s intentions. Despite a rocky introduction, they quickly fall in love, surprising and pushing each other to become better artists and people. Kenneally s story about following one s dreams inspires as it entertains. The characters musical passions and search for belonging are believable, while readers should get a vicarious thrill from watching Maya get to know a dreamy music star for who he really is. Ages 14 up.
