The story
Katie Hollis has her life all together - she has great friends, dates great guys, and has great sex. She has a great, worthwhile job as a sustainable environment consultant, flies a lot, and saves the environment. There's just one problem. She has an incredibly famous ex - who made his fortune of singing songs about their most intimate experiences together but never even bothered to break up with her properly. And Katie just knows she can never properly move on - until she's confronted him and made him regret his entire existence.
So when her old friend Laura calls to tell her that Jake Sharpe, her ex, has returned to their home town, she drops everything and races home to find the perfect moment to confront him.
But that is easier said than done - when Jake is being hounded by the paparazzi every minute of the day, and Katie just doesn't feel satisfied that she's called his existence in to question. And as she spends more and more time with Jake, she realises that actually, she might still be in love with him - if he can remedy all the hurt he caused her over the last fifteen years.
But is Jake what Katie really wants? Can their relationship survive adulthood? Can Katie get her life back, after the fifteen year spectre of Jake hanging over her head?

How did you come up with the plot in Dedication?
We are obsessed with heartbreak and how women overcome breakups and all the accompanying rejection and get on with their lives. At the time we started to think about it as a novel topic Usher’s album Confessions about the demise of his relationship with Chili as all over the airwaves with Maroon Fives’ Ten Songs About Jane. We became obsessed with the idea of what a day in the life for these two women must look like. How do you get over someone when their thoughts and feelings about you follow you through your day and for the rest of your life?
Hmmm?... interesting ;)
Actually this book has remind me some of my favorite song that I really want to post about it here on my blog but I have no time...
As you can see now... the theme of my blog is actually about
'A Rocket to the Moon'
It's because I'm really... really enjoy their music these days.
Even some of them are a very sad song but it's really made me smile everytime I'm listen to :)
PS. I swear, it's nothing personal about Nick Santino & Eric Halvo ... it's all about their music! lol
