Dirty Little Secret by Jennifer Echols
To be published: July 16, 2013 by MTV Books
Bailey wasn’t always a wild child and the black sheep of her family. She used to play fiddle and tour the music circuit with her sister, Julie, who sang and played guitar. That ended when country music execs swooped in and signed Julie to a solo deal. Never mind that Julie and Bailey were a duet, or that Bailey was their songwriter. The music scouts wanted only Julie, and their parents were content to sit by and let her fulfill her dreams while Bailey’s were hushed away.
Bailey has tried to numb the pain and disappointment over what could have been. And as Julie’s debut album is set to hit the charts, her parents get fed up with Bailey’s antics and ship her off to granddad’s house in Nashville. Playing fiddle in washed-up tribute groups at the mall, Bailey meets Sam, a handsome and oh-so-persuasive guitarist with his own band. He knows Bailey’s fiddle playing is just the thing his band needs to break into the industry. But this life has broken Bailey’s heart once before. She isn’t sure she’s ready to let Sam take her there again… [goodreads]
I've said it before, and I'll say it again.. Jennifer Echols could publish her grocery list and I would read it! So there's no surprise that I am *patiently* waiting to read her next YA contemp. Oh the drama.. the tension.. the EVERYTHING I ADORE ABOUT READING.. Yeah, you get the picture.
"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
As a Jennifer Echols fan, I am looking forward to reading her next book, and this sounds really good.

ReplyDeleteI've never read any Jennifer Echols before, but this sounds really good, and now I'm wondering how I've managed to miss this author when I read so much contemporary YA... I'm off to investigate the library catalogue!
