Description
Sixteen-year-old Maya has been best friends with Plum ever since they were kids.
Plum's dad, Ross Kenner, is a rock star, and his band has risen to fame in the six years since he left his wife and daughter behind. But now he's back to record an album and is hoping to see Plum again. Maya goes with Plum to meet Ross for dinner two nights running, loving the fancy food, celebrity gossip and especially the limo ride home. But then Ross kisses Maya, and the limo driver catches a moment on his phone that is not quite "appropriate". The photo circulates, causing trouble for everyone. Maya herself doesn't quite know how to feel. It was the best kiss she ever had, so is she a victim or not?
This short novel is a high-interest, low-reading-level book for teen readers who are building reading skills, want a quick read or say they don't like to read. The epub edition of this title is fully accessible.
