Krysten Lindsay Hager has a new young adult romantic comedy out from Clean Reads! You can check it out below and read an excerpt.
Summary
Cecily wants a big life, but can she handle
it?
Cecily feels like she has it all: great best friends, the
beginnings of a career as a model/actress, and she’s dating her favorite
singer, Andrew Holiday. Then Cecily’s best friend Lila begins to ditch her
every time Lila’s boyfriend calls. Cecily feels lost, but she and Andrew begin
connecting more and she’s never been in a relationship where she felt so
understood. Andrew even begins to confide in her about his anxiety. Soon Cecily
experiences her own anxiety on a magazine photo shoot, but she manages to impress
the magazine staff. Just when it seems like all her dreams are coming true,
everything comes crashing down when a photo of Andrew with another girl appears
online. He swears nothing happened, but Cecily is crushed. She feels like she’s
lost two of the people closest to her.
Was her perfect relationship real or was she in over her
head?
Excerpt
“They were talking
about how they’re using unknown models right now and I mentioned how awesome
you were in the video and they agreed. We started talking and they wondered if
you’d want to come to New York and do a shoot for the magazine. What do you
think?” he asked.
I almost fell off my bed. Me? Model? I wasn’t pretty enough
for that and everyone would write in to let them know that just like they all
felt the need to voice that opinion in the online video comments.
“Wow, it’s…wow.”
“I know, right? And I’m here for a few weeks recording so we
could see each other. My manager said he’d talk to your parents and work out
the details. You’d be working just to get exposure, so the contract would be
about rights and not money—is that cool? It’s a great way to get your name out
there and stuff for your book.”
“My book?”
“Your portfolio. You know, the photos people look at to
decide whether or not they want to hire you for modeling jobs.”
Was I going to be modeling enough that I needed a book? Did
this magazine actually want me? It sounded too good to be true—going to New
York to model and be in a magazine while visiting my pop star boyfriend. Was
this my life?
“I don’t know if my parents will go for it,” I said.
“Let my manager talk to them and see what magic he can work.
He wants to help this magazine out, too. You want to do it though, right?”
Part of me did—the part of me that wanted a big life and to
be famous and adored. The reality side of me was an anxious mess just thinking
about flying out there though.
“Yeah, for sure,” I
said hoping I sounded convincing.
“Great, give me your parents’ number and I’ll have my
manager give them a call.”
I felt like I was
having an out of body experience as I recited my mom’s cell phone number to
him.
My entire life could change in a phone call.
