Release Date: February 3rd, 2015

Braces, zits, first kisses and crushes.

Together best friends, Ruthie and Celine have experienced it all. Now at twenty-eight they face their biggest adventure—Celine’s impending nuptials.

Caught with the realization of how life is about to change, the two decide to embark on one last grand adventure to meet their favorite boy band, Intensity…

Things start off as fun, but the friends quickly realize,

some things are better left in the past…

EXCERPT
“NO!” 
Ruthie’s sudden outburst caused Celine to jump clear off the bed. Clearing her throat, Celine replied, “I’m sorry?” 
“No!” Ruthie shook her head feverishly. “You just said you wanted to relive our childhood again, right?” 
“Yeah…?” 
“Then I can’t in good conscience meet Intensity by taking the pussy way out.” Ruthie stomped over to her wastebasket and retrieved the tiny book, staring at her friend pointedly. 
“You can’t be serious!” Celine gasped. 
Ruthie pursed her lips and lifted the book in the air, waving it around manically. “We are going to meet him by doing it the way our seventeen year old selves always tried to!” 
“BY SNEAKING BACKSTAGE?” Images of their old diagrams flashed through Celine’s head. She shook her head quickly. “It’s never going to work! You’re insane!” 
“It will work,” Ruthie replied adamantly. 
“NO WAY!” Celine yelled. “You happen to forget that I’m technically a public figure. I can’t get caught sneaking backstage at a boy band concert. How bad would that look for my career?” 
“You use a pen name,” Ruthie smirked. 
“Regardless, as a grown woman I have to put my foot down and veto this idea. I have gone this long without a criminal record and I’m not about to tarnish that!” 
Ruthie couldn’t help but laugh. “Oh, come on! We’re not going to be arrested! The worst that’ll happen is we get caught and kicked out. At least we tried, right?”

About the author:
Thanks to her Mom’s unwavering devotion to read a childhood bedtime story to her every single night, S. BRIONES LIM’s love for books began before she could even speak.

Raised in Southern California, Lim initially dreamt of becoming an artist. After a Psychology Degree (Summa cum Laude), a stint in Art School, and a career in Advertising/Media she is finally diving back into her first love – books. As a self-renowned bookworm, Lim’s love for reading has inspired her to pen her own novels and hopes her readers will fall in love with her stories as much as she enjoys writing them.

Her obsessions include time with family, Cherry Coke, popcorn with jalapeños, watching movies and her dogs, Tobi and Roscoe. She currently lives in Virginia with her husband.
