Product Description
Jade Ashton is a sassy virgin. In her private blog, she vents about "fitting in" a world where superficiality reigns supreme.
Suddenly all logic flies out the window when she meets Novan: the former geek, who's morphed into a delicious songwriter-musician.
They decide to be "friends-with-benefits." But it's Novan--with his poems and riddling passages on his own blog--that backs out.
EyeLeash captures self-discovery in the 2000s, and showcases the colorful, intricate drama in two youths' relentless search for themselves--and what's really in their hearts.
GENRE: Social Issues (Dating & Sex) / Coming of Age / New Media / Popular Culture | 65,000 words

Praise for Jess C Scott's EYELEASH:
"The conversation [in EyeLeash] struck me as totally authentic--the form [of the novel] is integral to the story. This is how young people experience sex. It's how they experience love. The novel captures what they do, how they interact and how they feel...a mature mix."
--Joseph Grinton, independent reviewer, July 18, 2009
"...I felt like I was experiencing a YA Bridget Jones's Diary."
--Stacey W. Benefiel, May 22, 2010
"Though [EyeLeash: A Blog Novel] is far different from the fluffy Twilight series, don't be surprised if Jess C Scott's books spark the next reading revolution. Scott's original voice and style don't just tell a story, they tell the way of teenage life."
-- K.M.D., Amazon Review
"Jess C Scott is the 21st-century Judy Blume."
-- Amazon Review on "EyeLeash: A Blog Novel", March 2011
"You're a brilliant writer. [Your books] are not shallow reads--they entertain but also make you reflect on what is really important in one's life."
-- e-mail from a reader, 2011 (The Philippines)
