I’m so pleased to welcome Krysten Lindsay Hager to Creative Hodgepodge
today. Krysten has made a name for herself as a prolific author of young adult
novels, and today she’s celebrating the release of her newest release, the
second in her Cecily Taylor Series.
In Over Her Head:
Lights, Camera, Anxiety (The Cecily Taylor Series) by Krysten Lindsay Hager
Young Adult
Romantic Comedy from Clean Reads
Blurb: Cecily wants a big life, but can
she handle it?
Cecily feels like she
has it all: great best friends, the beginnings of a career as a model/actress,
and she’s dating her favorite singer, Andrew Holiday. Then Cecily’s best friend
Lila begins to ditch her every time Lila’s boyfriend calls. Cecily feels lost,
but she and Andrew begin connecting more and she’s never been in a relationship
where she felt so understood. Andrew even begins to confide in her about his
anxiety. Soon Cecily experiences her own anxiety on a magazine photo shoot, but
she manages to impress the magazine staff. Just when it seems like all her
dreams are coming true, everything comes crashing down when a photo of Andrew
with another girl appears online. He swears nothing happened, but Cecily is
crushed. She feels like she’s lost two of the people closest to her.
Was her perfect
relationship real or was she in over her head?
Excerpt:
One day I had the career and the guy of my
dreams. Then Danielle King came along. If people could be trusted, maybe it
would have been okay, but they can’t. They suck. And now my dream relationship
was gone and no one would ever know what had actually been in my grasp.
How can a person go
from having a whole life with someone, and then it ends like you were never
even together? No wonder people talk about how awful divorces are. That must
hurt a million times more. Sure, I don’t have to see Andrew every day at school
like I did Zach, but it seems like Andrew was everywhere. I went to the grocery
store with my mom and they were playing one of his songs because he’s
technically a local.
Andrew’s music was always what I listened to
when I was sad. His heartache music got me through the worst times and now, not
only could I not stand to listen to it, there was now the chance I could end up
hearing music about our breakup. Actually, I didn’t know which was worse: the
possibility he’d use our relationship as inspiration for a song, or finding out
I was barely a blip on his radar and not even warranting a mention.
What was I supposed
to do now?
