GoodReads Summary:
Sixteen-year-old Samantha D’Angelo has death on the brain. Her summer internship at the local newspaper has her writing obituaries instead of soaking up the sun at the beach. Between Shelby, Sam’s boy-crazy best friend; her boss Harry, a true-blue newspaper man; and AJ, her fellow “intern scum” (aka the cute drummer for a band called Love Gas), Sam has her hands full. But once she figures out what—or who—is the best part of her summer, will she mess it all up?
As Sam learns her way around both the news room and the real world, she starts to make some momentous realizations about politics, ethics, her family, romance, and most important—herself.
Why?
I enjoyed How My Summer Went Up in Flames so I am eagerly awaiting Ms. Doktorski's sophomore title.
Also, I have had the pleasure to interview her for Summer Lovin' Read-a-Thon happening NEXT WEEK!! Have you signed up yet? When prizes for tackling that summer reading TBR pile!!
For More information visit Read-a-Thon Central!!

DeleteOoooh this sounds lovely. I never heard of Dortorski but I love contemporaries so I might check this out!
ReplyDeleteMy WoW
She is a great new voice in contemporaries--give her a whirl when you get a chance. Happy Reading!
DeleteI think this sounds like a really fun read, plus I love the setting for it! I think reading a book set in a newspaper office will be really fun. And I can't wait to see your interview with the author next week!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my WoW! :)
It would be great if you can stop back for the interview next week. It will be lots of fun! Happy Reading.
DeleteThat does look like a cute story. When I was a teen I briefly wanted to be a journalist and I wrote for our school paper so I'd probably enjoy this book. I haven't read How My Summer Went Up in Flames yet but I plan to.
ReplyDelete:) sounds like it would be a good fit for you. Add Summer to your TBR list if you think you would like it--I enjoyed it quite a lot!
DeleteHappy Reading!
First time at your site, love it so cute! I've not heard over either of these books. I hope you enjoy them :-)
