Synopsis:
An aspiring teenage singer finds herself playing a different tune when she falls for a boy who could jeopardize her future dreams in Olivia Wildenstein’s romantic YA novel, Not Another Love Song.
Angie has studied music her entire life, nurturing her talent as a singer. Now a high school senior, she has an opportunity to break into Nashville’s music scene via a songwriting competition launched by her idol, Mona Stone. Discouraged by her mother, who wishes Angie would set more realistic life goals, she nonetheless pours her heart and soul into creating a song worthy of Mona.
But Angie’s mother is the least of her concerns after she meets Reedwood High’s newest transfer student, Ten. With his endless collection of graphic tees, his infuriating attitude, smoldering good looks, and endearing little sister, Ten toys with the rhythm of Angie’s heart.
She’s never desired anything but success until Ten entered her life. Now she wants to be with him and to be a songwriter for Mona Stone, but she can’t have both.
And picking one means losing the other.
Excerpt
Hand resting on the frame of his open car door, he watches me for a moment. I watch him back, but then that turns awkward, so I lower my eyes to his T-shirt, which reads BEAST MODE ACTIVATED.
“You need a ride somewhere?” he asks.
I jerk my gaze back up to his face.
His eyes, which look golden in the rapidly setting sun, are guarded and reticent.
I shake my head. “I’m not going far.”
He gets into his car fast, as though worried I might change my mind. I start walking my bike down the sidewalk, straining to hear his car tires screech. Either he has the quietest car, or he hasn’t driven away.
I cast a glance over my shoulder. Even though the hazard lights are off, his car isn’t moving. He’s probably just as shaken up as I am by the collision. He honks, and it makes me jump. I spin my head around just in time to avoid knocking into a streetlamp.
Is that why he honked? To warn me?
Ugh. He must think I’m a total klutz, which isn’t going to help my case about my cracked cell phone screen. The store receipt with his phone number feels as though it’s burning a hole in the back pocket of my cutoffs. Maybe I have insurance for the screen. I hope so, because I don’t want to contact him. He’d probably ask me to prove my phone wasn’t damaged before, and I really don’t feel like having to prove myself to anyone.
Except to Mona Stone.

AUTHOR BIO: USA TODAY bestselling author Olivia Wildenstein grew up in New York City and earned her bachelor’s in comparative literature from Brown University. After designing jewelry for a few years, Wildenstein traded in her tools for the writing life, which made more sense considering her college degree.
When she’s not sitting at her computer, she’s psychoanalyzing everyone she meets (Yes. Everyone), eavesdropping on conversations to gather material for her next book, and attempting not to forget one of her kids in school.
She has a slight obsession with romance, which might be the reason why she writes it. She’s a hybrid author of over a dozen mature Young Adult love stories.
