Jealousy Jane

by Lindsay Price Canadian Author

Jane has a problem with jealousy, so much so it's turned into a life-sized monster by her side. Jealousy follows Jane wherever she goes whether she likes it or not.

Jane tries to dismiss the monster's presence, but it's ruining her social life, her school life, and refuses take the hint. Jealousy is here to stay.

Will the monster take control of Jane's life? Or will she figure out how to ditch her demon?
