What if your ex was famous and adored by millions? What would you
do if you had one chance to make him regret his entire existence?
How much would you risk?
Kate Hollis's ex-boyfriend's face plasters newsstands and TV,
the Internet, and the multiplex. Jake Sharpe is one of the biggest
recording stars on the planet, and every song he's famous for is
about Kate. For over a decade his soundtrack has chased her -- from
the gym to the supermarket, from the dentist's office to the bars.
Now thirty-year-old Kate gets the call that Jake has finally landed
back in their Vermont hometown for an MTV special. The moment she
has been waiting for has arrived.
On the eve of their prom, Jake Sharpe vanished, resurfacing when
his song "Losing" -- about his and Kate's first sexual experience
-- shot to the top of the Billboard charts. And the hits kept
coming, each more personal than the one before.
Now Kate gets her chance to confront Jake and reclaim her past.
But after eleven years of enduring protracted and far-from-private
heartbreak, everyone in Kate's life has a stake in how this plays
out. Kate must risk betraying the friends Jake abandoned, the
bandmates whose songs he plundered, and her own parents, who fear
this will dredge up a shared past more painful than any of them
want to acknowledge. But after getting the call in the dead of
night and jumping on a plane, can she turn back now?
"Newsweek" dubbed "The Nanny Diaries" "a national phenomenon"
and the "New Republic" proclaimed, "Thank God for "Citizen Girl.""
Now McLaughlin and Kraus have written a poignant, humorous tale
about modern celebrity obsession and coming of age during the
divorce boom. With flawless depictions of the 1980s, a charismatic
heroine, and their signature biting wit, the authors offer up
another lively and hilarious tale of a smart young woman looking
for satisfaction in the chaos of contemporary culture.
