REVIEW: Jesse’s Girl by Miranda Kenneally

JiaB- ReviewsContemporary / country music / rock music / SourceBooks / Young-Adult3 Comments

Dear Ms. Kenneally, I’m a big fan of your contemporary YA novels. Actually, I’ll be honest. You’re currently my favorite contemporary YA author right now. I like that while your novels all contain a romance of some sort, the story always focuses on the girl and her journey of growth. ... more >
