extremely important


It is extremely important that those within the sound of my voice, er blog, read this:
My dear friend, Natalie, is a published author! Her book, Second Kiss, is a wonderful 'coming-of-age' novel that goes far beyond the other teen-bop books. She is a very talented writer and I am proud to recommend this book.

Here is a quick overview, (stolen from her blog :) or you can read the first chapter HERE:

Gemma Mitchell is a normal girl who somehow gets herself into abnormally embarrassing circumstances. And while she thinks she's the biggest loser in school because of them, there are a few people in her life who would disagree. One of those people is her best friend, Jess Tyler, who is opposite to her in every way. He's popular, good looking, athletic, and intelligent, and he can't get enough of Gemma. But while Gemma is dealing with problems like wrong locker combinations and Valentine's Day dances, Jess is living in a world of serious issues that are foreign to Gemma, until she realizes that he's holding on to her for dear life.
Humorous and true to life, Second Kiss is an entertaining saga about a boy and girl who find that their lives have a lot more meaning once they have shared them with each other.

I just have to hurry up and finish the book I'm reading...and then the one I have on reserve at the library! I can't wait to read it though, thanks for the recommendation, it's always nice to hear about a good book!

I love that this is on your blog because it reminds me what a small world this is. Though I don't know Natalie, I do know her husband very well. We were buddies in high school. I will definitely check out the book. Any chance you're taking a family field trip to DC this summer?
