Dedication: A Novel


by Emma McLaughlin & Nicola Kraus


What if your high school boyfriend grew up to be a famous rock star?
What if his most famous song was written all about YOU?


Back in the 1980's and junior high, Katie Hollis loved classmate Jake Sharpe from afar. During high school, her crush turned into much more when she and Jake began dating and later fell in love. Althoug he could be sensitive and adorable at times, Jake wasn't always the best boyfriend and everything fell apart when Katie went away to college and Jake went to LA to start his music career.

Fast forward to thirteen years later. Katie is thirty and she goes by the name Kate now. She has a successful career and life in Charleston. Jake, now famous for his music and engaged to a glamorous actress, has never returned to his hometown in suburban Maine. His most famous songs are all about Kate, their sex life and her mother's infidelity, and have left her feeling exploited and embarrassed, not to mention heartbroken, all these years. When Kate hears that Jake is coming home for Christmas, she races there as well, hoping for closure and revenge on the guy who broke her heart. However, she is not prepared for their attraction to be so intense after all these years and when Jake breaks up with his fiance, Kate must make some hard decisions about what is forgivable and what kind of life she wantes to lead.

An entertaining premise and a decent story about getting over the past and on with your life.
