While celebrating her fifteenth birthday, Annie Finelli, a girl ahead of her age in smarts, talent, and maturity, again meets Russell Santucci, mid-twenties, talented pianist already amidst a mid-life crisis, and the attraction is near instantaneous. After just two short conversations, love blossoms—but can it be true, with such a startling age difference between them? Learning to trust their feelings are only half the battle; good thing they have supportive families. Miss Pretty Please is the last novel of a trilogy involving the Finellis and the Santuccis in upper class, suburban Maryland. Each of the books involves a story of athletic greatness and emotional growth within two supportive but unusually connected families. About the Author P. E.
