ME, JUST DIFFERENT

I'm SO excited to feature this book! Not only is Stephanie Morrill a great new author, but she's a nice lady and a pleasure to know. Congratulations, Stephanie!

Reading Me, Just Different took me all the way back to high school--not the specific plot points, as I was never popular, but the idea of fitting in vs. staying true to self. The main character, Skylar Hoyt, has it all together on the outside, but has a storm brewing on the inside due to family circumstances and issues she faces while trying to make positive changes in her life. If you have a teen reader in your family, or if you just love a great story, run out and get your copy today!!!

**GREAT NEWS ALERT** Stephanie has graciously offered to give away a copy! Leave your name and email address in the comments section, and I'll draw on Friday :-)

Back Cover:

Skylar Hoyt is a girl who seems to have it all--she's pretty, popular, and has a great-looking boyfriend. Her senior year should be the best one yet. But a horrible experience at a summer party has changed everything. Now she's vowing to make better choices, including going back to church. But as Skylar tries to gain new perspective on life, the world as she knows it begins to fall apart.

Her parents are constantly fighting. Her younger sister has a big secret that Skylar is forced to keep. The guy she's dating is annoyingly jealous. And the new guy down the street is just plain annoying. In the midst of the chaos, Skylar starts to wonder who her real friends are and, even more importantly, who she is.

BIO:

Stephanie Morrill is a twentysomething living in Kansas with her high school sweetheart-turned-husband and their daughter. She loves writing for teens because her high school years greatly impacted her adult life. That, and it's an excuse to keep playing her music really, really loud.

Just in case you don't win on Friday, CLICK HERE to get your copy!

Yayayayay! This is such a great book!

The family who won a copy from my blog...the book was in the house not even 30 hours by the time the teen daughter and the mother had devoured it. And the girl was raving about it to me on Sunday, asking when the next book released and telling me that date was too far away.

I went to college with Stepanie's aunt, Janna, years ago. She let me know about Stephanies new book. I'm looking forward to getting and reading this book soon and especially letting my teenage daughter read it. I hope I win it.
