Fourteen

A MOST UNLIKELY PAIR
My mother has just finished writing her fourteenth book—one for each year of my life. They've all been about me in one horrible way or another, and I hated them all. Each time, she promised the main character would not resemble me, and each time my friends seemed to recognize me. This time, she thought she had played it safe by writing a teenage romance. Nothing in my life had even come close to romance!

But that was before Jason Furst moved into the apartment next door. After our explosive meeting on the fire escape, I was certain nothing would ever be the same. And it wasn't!

While my mother wrote about a typical teenage romance, I was having one that wasn't at all typical. No one would have believed the story of Rebecca Cooper and Jason Furst!
