What if your ex was adored by mill ions and you had only one chance to make him regret his entire existence? Jake Sharpe is one of the biggest recording stars of our generation and every song he's world-famous for is about Kate Hollis. For over a decade his chart-topping music -- chronicling every intimate detail of their high school relationship -- has chased her, each hit more personal than the last. Now Jake is finally back in their Vermont hometown for an MTV special, and the moment thirty-year-old Kate has been waiting for arrives. But, after years of enduring far from private heartbreak, everyone in Kate's life has a stake in how this plays out. She risks betraying the friends Jake abandoned, the bandmates whose songs he plundered, and her family, who fear this will dredge up a past more painful than any of them want to acknowledge. Dedication is a poignant, hilarious story about modern celebrity obsession and coming of age during the divorce boom. With flawless depictions of the 1980s and their signature biting wit, McLaughlin and Kraus offer up another lively tale of a smart woman looking for satisfaction in the chaos of contemporary culture.
