Megan's Guest Post!!!

Here is the guest post from Megan, my teen reader!: 

I was recently given the opportunity to read Rebecca's "my perfect little secret". David Sterry gave me this opportunity after I attended his Pitchapalooza. Even though I wasn't able to win he gave me many opportunities. David had me be Rebecca's "teen reader" so I could check on if the book was relatable. Not only was her book relatable, it was also very good. I was interested from page one and was amazed at the creativity involved in her book. My favorite part was the scrapbook Lilly and Josie made together because it was the first thing that made me feel relatable to the main character. However, that was not the only thing. I felt like the story was happening to me and my friends instead of Lilly and hers. I'm very thankful I had the opportunity to read "My Perfect Little Secret" and I hope the best for Rebecca.

**I want to thank Megan for being my teen reader and for giving me all her input.  She was a huge help and I really appreciate the time and effort she put into it!
