My Life as Kelsey
by Victoria AndersPublish: Apr 22, 2019Series: My Life SeriesTeen & Young Adult Book Overview
Work, rinse, repeat. That’s my summer in three words. School, rinse, repeat will be my new tagline when 11th grade begins. Lucky me.
Working at an amusement park for the summer did not add amusement to the monotony that is my life. It’s just added another level of boredom and caused more reasons for my mother to hound me about SAT scores and making sure I’m at the top of my class. Afraid I’ll make her mistakes of being an unwed teen mom, she keeps me on lockdown from friends and boys. “Demons,” she calls them.
My monotonous life pivots when I meet Stone—a designer sunglass wearing, sports car driving rich boy—and rotates yet again when tragedy strikes. A roller-coaster journey full of twists and turns ensues with finding first love and learning the truth about my father. The up and down moments make me want to strap in and enjoy the ride, or just outright hurl into the porcelain altar. Where did my life of monotony go and do I want it back?
