Confessions

Landing the star role in Reckless Summer—filmed at her high school the previous year—definitely had its perks for Jessie Philips. She shared romantic scenes with the superstar, Shane Rockett, and he set her heart aflame. Then he doused it when she caught him kissing a co-star. Jessie thought a summer like that could never be topped-but she was so wrong.

Now she's landed her own teen celeb column in a gossip magazine. Jessie gets to live in Hollywood and rub elbows with all the celebs she drools over. She's seeing a lot more of Shane and he's sending out signals too...but sightings of him with a teen actress are giving her major doubts. With Shane's needed A-list contacts and his gorgeous smile, is it worth risking her heart again? It looks like this summer's hottest gossip may be about Jessie.

Mary Kennedy is a licensed psychologist and the author of two mystery series, The Talk Radio Mysteries and the Dream Club Mysteries, as well as the Hollywood Nights young adult novels. She lives in the Northeast with her husband and six neurotic cats. Both husband and cats have resisted all her attempts to psychoanalyze them, but she remains optimistic.

"Sweet romance, lively dialogue, and fresh engaging storylines combine to make Mary Kennedy’s young adult novels a must-read for YA fans. Mary creates appealing teen characters that readers care about and has a definite knack for writing in the YA genre. . .once you start reading, you won’t want to stop."
