General RBC 2015: A book on your TBR pile
When Audrey Cuttler breaks up
with her boyfriend Evan, lead singer of the Do-Gooders, the last thing she expects
is for her – and him – to become overnight celebrities. Evan, in a fit of rare
and truly inspired genius, writes a song about their break-up and it goes
viral. ‘Audrey, Wait!’ is catchy and
an unsuspected success, getting the Do-Gooders airtime on every local radio
station. Of course, everyone wants to hear Audrey’s side of the story and
before she can blink, reporters and their cameras are following her every move,
she’s forced to take all her classes in the school office just so the other
kids stop staring, and her job at the Scooper Dooper becomes a peep show. Audrey
can’t wait for all the attention to die down … in her dreams …
