Goodreads Summary:

You know that catchy song you keep hearing on the radio? It’s about you.

Natalie Jamison has spent five years trying to forget the girl she was in high school: popular, pretty…and, okay, mean. Now in her twenties and living once again in her small town, she’s right back where she was: following Queen Bee Amber and keeping secrets from her best friend, Sarah.

Secrets like Jack Moreland.

Everyone knows Jack Moreland—his new album, Good Enough, is everywhere. He’s famous. Impossibly handsome. Completely untouchable. But what none of Natalie’s old clique knows is that in high school, Natalie and Jack fell in love. And their secret relationship was incredible, painful—and earth-shattering enough to inspire an entire album.

Facing friends and enemies isn’t easy, but Natalie will go to great lengths to prove she is good enough—to her friends, to herself, and most of all, to the small-town boy turned worldwide heartthrob she never forgot.

My Swoon:

"I put my hand on his waist, stood on my tiptoes, and leaned into his ear to say it again, when he moved quick and caught my hands and kissed me.  Oh.  My.  Jack had one hand on my waist while the other stroked the side of my neck under my ear.  His lips were hot, soft, perfect, the pressure of his mouth and tongue just enough to ease the growing ache and keep me wanting more.  The kiss was different than any of our others--deeper, more urgent.  When we parted, I was dizzy, off-balance, but I had him to lean into.  His mouth moved back to my ear, and when he spoke, I heard him perfectly.  'I didn't know girls in Science Club could kiss like that.'  Neither had I."  (eArc, Loc. 1513)
