Blog Tour ~ Love Songs & Other Lies by Jessica Pennington ~ Excerpt + Giveaway
Greetings,
A warm welcome to the Blog Tour for Love Songs & Other Lies, the upcoming book by Jessica Pennington. This is a book I am super excited about, so imagine how happy I was (and still am) when I heard I was part of the Blog Tour!
For today’s post I got an excerpt, a giveaway, and of course the standard book/author information.
Before we start though, there is one thing I have to do: throws around confetti The book is coming out today! Hip hip hooray, congrats to the author! Have an amazing day. 😘
It’s summer romance and second chances, the songs that stay in your head, and the boy you’ll never forget.
Two years after rock-song-worthy heartbreak, Virginia Miller is looking forward to a fun, carefree summer. Her friends just landed a spot on a battling bands reality show, and Vee is joining them for her dream internship on tour. Three months with future rockstars seems like an epic summer plan. Until she learns she’ll also be sharing the bus with Cam. Her first love, and her first heartbreak. Now Vee has more than just cameras to dodge, and Cam’s determination to win her forgiveness is causing TMZ-worthy problems for both of them. With cameras rolling, she’ll have to decide if her favorite breakup anthem deserves a new ending. And if she’s brave enough to expose her own secrets to keep Cam’s under wraps.
Sometimes the last note is just the beginning. Love Songs & Other Lies is the debut romance from Jessica Pennington that Katie McGarry calls “fun and full of heart with a hero who stole my heart!”
Jessica Pennington is no stranger to the combination of love and drama. She’s a wedding planner, after all. A writer since the age of ten—when she sought publication for her poem about a tree—Jessica likes the challenge of finding the humor in a sad situation or highlighting the awkwardness in a romantic one. She lives in a Michigan beach town suspiciously similar to the one in her novel, with her husband Josh and their son, Rory. Love Songs & Other Lies is her debut novel.
Mini Excerpt:
“Hey, Cam.”
Cam? Huh. Interesting. Everyone has always called me Cameron. All three syllables, every time. My mom used to say that if she wanted people to call me Cam, she would have named me that.
Am I a “Cam” now? I guess I can roll with it. “What’s the VA stand for?” Friends can ask that sort of thing. We’re friends now, right? You already “Cam”-ed me, after all.
“Virginia.”
“Like the state.”
“The nineties song,” Anders says, smiling. “‘Meet Virginia’?”
I shake my head. I don’t know it.
Anders starts humming and Logan sings, “Meet Virginia, I can’t wait to meet Virginia—”
She rolls her eyes. “No one calls me that, though. Just Vee.”
