THRILL RIDE by Rachel Hawthorne is a great book about summer fun and romance.

Megan takes a summer job at an amusement park called Thrill Ride. It is away from home, so she lives at the park with
other teens who are part of this summer program.

This big decision had many factors, yet one downfall. Megan wanted to escape her mother and sister who are constantly
arguing about her sister's upcoming wedding. The only downfall about being so far away is that Megan won't be close to
her new, cute boyfriend, Nick. But the family drama trumped the new romance and Megan headed off to the shores of
Lake Erie for Thrill Ride!

Soon after arriving, Megan meets Parker, the brother of her roommate and an all around hottie. With him around being
super nice and helpful -- not to mention super adorable -- will Megan and Nick's relationship be able to survive? And if
not, is there a possibility of one with Parker?

This great teen read is recommended for any teenage girl who wants to read a great book about romance and first love.
Forget about a depressing story of break-ups and loves lost, read THRILL RIDE by Rachel Hawthorne and get the
best pick-me-up invented -- a cute guy and happy endings.
