Jennifer Salvato Doktorski Books

Sixteen-year-old Samantha D'Angelo has death on the brain. Her summer internship at the local newspaper has her writing obituaries instead of soaking up the sun at the beach. Between Shelby, Sam's boy-crazy best friend; her boss Harry, a true-blue newspaper man; and AJ, her fellow "intern scum" (aka the cute drummer for a band called Love Gas), Sam has her hands full. But once she figures out what—or who—is the best part of her summer, will she mess it all up? As Sam learns her way around both the news room and the real world, she starts to make some momentous realizations about politics, ethics, her family, romance, and most important—herself.

Featuring two captivating romances, this collection blends the charm of summertime adventures with heartfelt connections. Readers will enjoy the intertwining stories of young love and self-discovery, as characters navigate the highs and lows of relationships during the carefree summer months. The engaging narratives promise to resonate with fans of contemporary YA fiction, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a delightful escape filled with romance and laughter.
