Confessions of an Almost-Girlfriend (Confessions #2)
Release Date: 06/18/13
Publisher: Harlequin Teen
Rose Zarelli has big plans for sophomore year—everything is going to be different. This year, she’s going to be the talented singer with the killer voice, the fabulous girl with the fashionista best friend, the brainiac who refuses to let Jamie Forta jerk her around...
...but if she’s not careful, she’s also going to be the sister who misses the signals, the daughter who can only think about her own pain, the “good girl” who finds herself in mid-scandal again (because no good deed goes unpunished) and possibly worst of all...the almost-girlfriend.
When all else fails, stop looking for love and go find yourself.
Release Date: 08/28/12
Publisher: Harlequin Teen
Paperback/e-book
288 pages
Rose Zarelli, self-proclaimed word geek and angry girl, has some confessions to make…
1. I'm livid all the time. Why? My dad died. My mom barely talks. My brother abandoned us. I think I'm allowed to be irate, don't you?
2. I make people furious regularly. Want an example? I kissed Jamie Forta, a badass guy who might be dating a cheerleader. She is nowenraged and out for blood. Mine.
3. High school might as well be Mars. My best friend has been replaced by an alien, and I see red all the time. (Mars is red and "seeing red" means being angry—get it?)
Here are some other vocab words that describe my life: Inadequate. Insufferable. Intolerable.
(Don't know what they mean? Look them up yourself.)
(Sorry. That was rude.)
Character Spotlight: Rose Zarelli
Name: Rose Zarelli
Age: I’ll be 16 this year. Maybe one of
these days I’ll even be able to drive. Imagine that.
Hometown: Union, CT. It’s not the worst
place in the world, but after visiting New York for my last birthday, Union
seems boring.
Siblings: One. A brother. He’s
got...issues. But who doesn’t?
Parents: One—my mother. She wants me to
go to therapy with her, to talk about my dad, who is gone. He was killed in
Iraq where he was working as a contractor. I don’t think he would have gone
there if it weren’t for her, but what do I know.
Best friend: Tracy Gerren. She’s
fashion-obsessed, but in a good way. Like, she’s actually treats fashion like
art. She studies it. She dreams about it. Fashion is going to be her career.
Cool, right?
Boyfriend: Boyfriend? Uh...no. Nope. I
don’t have a boyfriend.
Crush: You’re determined to make me talk
about him, aren’t you... Okay, yes, fine, I have a crush on Jamie Forta. There.
Are you happy?
Enemy: Well, enemy is sort of a strong
word, but there is one person who was determined to destroy me last year—Regina
Deladdo—and I’ve got the scars on my arms and legs to prove it.
Hobbies:
I used to play the French horn, and run. Now, I don’t know what I do. I
think I’m a singer, but I have no idea yet if I’m right. Everyone thinks
they’re a singer, right? It doesn’t mean that everyone can actually do it. I
also like web design. Even if I use it in ways that make my mother want to lock
me in a computer-free room for the rest of my life.
Dreams: Dreams? Wow. No pressure or
anything. Right now I just want to survive high school. Wait, no, that’s
shooting a little low. Is it possible to have fun in high school?
Virginity status: Oh, come on. Aren’t
there more important things in life than whether or not you’re a virgin?
Seriously. I’m out.
