HEADSTRONG: New and Revised Edition

HEADSTRONG: A YA coming-of-age novel (The Headstrong Series, Book 1). Perfect for fans of troubled bad boys and high school enemies to lovers.

It's September 1975, and fifteen-year-old Matt Jerue is in for the fight of his life: surviving high school.

He has two dreams: to play guitar in a band and to date Taryn McIntyre, a girl he's had a crush on since eighth grade. But Matt smokes, he's unpopular, and he gets into fights. He's everything Taryn despises and everything she wants to avoid. When their best friends start dating, Matt's and Taryn's lives unavoidably collide, taking Matt on a rollercoaster of emotions where anger and self-doubts control him. But when Taryn approaches him for help, he knows it's his chance to prove he's not the person she thinks he is.

HEADSTRONG is a bittersweet, coming-of-age story told through Matt's point of view as he deals with high school bullies, absent parents, and his own insecurities. He's unloved and abandoned at home, and he struggles with troubles at school, but through it all, he never loses sight of the two things he wants most.

Until the day his world crashes in, and he has to decide: how hard is he willing to fight to keep his dreams alive?
