Another Little Piece of my Heart
by Tracey Martin
Publisher: Harlequin Teen
Release Date: December 1, 2013
Synopsis (from Goodreads):
What if your devastating break-up became this summer’s hit single? In this rock-and-roll retelling of Jane Austen’s Persuasion, music can either bring you together or tear you apart.
At her dying mother’s request, Claire dumps Jared, the only boy she’s ever loved. Left with a broken family and a broken heart, Claire is furious when she discovers that her biggest regret became Jared’s big break. While Jared is catapulted into rock-star status, another piece of Claire’s heart crumbles every time his song plays on the radio.
The summer after her senior year, it’s been months since the big break-up, and Claire is just trying to keep her head down and make it through a tense trip to the beach with her family. But when Jared shows up, and old feelings reignite, can Claire and Jared let go of the past? Or will they be stuck singing the same old refrain?
That cover!! Gorgeous! The very bare bones concept of this reminds me of Audrey, Wait!, which can only be a good thing, and while I haven't actually read any Jane Austen (I know :/), I do tend to love re-tellings of her novels.
I just saw this one last week, and it looks so good! And yes, it sure does have a familiar Audrey, Wait ring to it :) Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteYou really need to read the original but I love retellings too. Hope this one is a winner (and would love to get a copy of it!)
