Fear and Laundry 2

In this sequel to Fear and Laundry, high school senior Veronica Montez tries to navigate the ups and downs of her relationship with her first-ever boyfriend, Jake, a guitarist whose rock band seems suddenly poised to hit it big.

**********

Veronica thought dating a musician would be pretty awesome. And it mostly is. Jake is sexy, brilliant, passionate about his craft€"and so crazy about Veronica that he€s soon talking about wanting to spend the rest of his life with her! But after witnessing her father walk out on her mother years ago, Veronica doesn€t believe in €œhappily ever after€ anymore. And she€s worried that despite his promises, Jake won€t really stick around forever, either. When his band gets the opportunity to go on tour, she knows it won€t be long before Jake leaves her behind, possibly for a long time. Why wouldn€t he, when signing on for the gig could mean his big break? And once he€s away, what are the chances he won€t forget all about Veronica? Not very good, considering he€ll be hitting the road with his ex-girlfriend€"a talented and alluring drummer with an obvious lingering crush on Jake€"and tons of groupies tempting him at every stop on the tour.

Veronica tries hard to be supportive of her boyfriend€s dreams and optimistic about their future together. But while Jake seems to think their relationship will have the staying power of the Rolling Stones, Veronica€s all but convinced it€s doomed to flame out faster than a one-hit wonder.
