Girls Don't Stay Innocent

By Melina Druga

Before she was a rock star's wife, she was a girl learning to love, feel, and choose.

Cassandra "Cassie" Economos has four loves: There's Kurt Cobain, a permanent fixture on her bedroom wall and in her teenage heart. Then there's her friends. Oh, and let's not forget her big, fat, gloriously dysfunctional Greek family. And simmering beneath it all is a burning desire to escape to Chicago.

Cassie's about to add another item to her list: boys. There's just one Mount Everest-sized problem. Cassie's strictly forbidden to date. Determined to break free from the shackles of her family's rules, Cassie embarks on a hilarious and often cringe-worthy journey into the world of dating and learns how to navigate the complexities of love, friendship, and identity.

From the blush of first love to the sting of betrayal, Cassandra's journey is one of self-discovery and emotional evolution. Every choice she makes brings her closer to the woman she's destined to become and the love story that will define her life.

With a quirky cast of friends cheering her on, will Cassie be able to balance her family's expectations while discovering her true self?

Girls Don't Stay Innocent, the first book in the Misadventures of Modern Womanhood series, follows Cassandra during her high school years, a time of first love, rebellion and confusion. For readers who love emotional women's fiction with a sensual edge, the Misadventures of Modern Womanhood series spans one woman's life from youth to maturity and every heartbreak and triumph in between.
