Love Lifetime Movie Network? Then Brad's Girl Is Just The Book For You.

I LOVE LMN, the Lifetime Movie Network. There is always a good, drama filled movie on there, right. 24/7. Well, the book I am about to recommend to you, seems like it was ripped right from the storyline of a Lifetime movie. It's called "Brad's Girl," by Shay Collins.

Brad's Girl touches on the very sensitive subject of teen dating abuse, which happens to be a growing epidemic. More and more young girls are reporting that they have been abused by the boys that they are dating; some as young as sixth grade!

The short story by young adult fiction author Shay Collins is the story of Jennifer Duncan, a senior in high school who falls head over heels in love with a high school jock, Bradley Jennings, or 'Brad' for short. What starts as an innocent study date quickly escalates into a high school romance. But little does Jennifer know, she is not the only woman in Brad's life. Bradley is still very much in love with his ex-girlfriend.

Jennifer soon discovers that she is nothing more than a ploy to get back at Brad's ex and make her jealous.

Unfortunately, she may have uncovered the secret a little too late.

Until next time,
