The Duet

by Jennifer D'Angelo

Izzy Delaney is sharp-tongued and quick-witted, with an unapologetic style of her very own. She is certain that she is destined for great things; if only she could hold down a job for more than a couple of weeks. Whether it’s her blue hair or her inability to conform to polite convention, Izzy can’t seem to find her niche.
Jay Archer is moody and introspective, and most definitely not a member of the Izzy Delaney fan club. In fact, Izzy can’t remember hearing him utter a complete sentence to her in… well, forever. He prefers to fade into the background and observe life from a safe distance.
Despite living in the same apartment and sharing a best friend, these polar opposites barely tolerate one another.
Until a chance encounter on stage changes everything.
A song written but never meant to be heard, a video accidentally gone viral, and an unthinkable tragedy. How can a bond so fragile be expected to stand up against the domino effect of The Duet?

About the author

Jennifer D’Angelo lives in Eastern Pennsylvania in a house filled with testosterone – a husband, teenage son and two boy cats. She started writing in high school when she penned a novella based on a very popular band from the eighties. While she has set aside her adolescent crush on Simon Le Bon, her imagination and love of all things fiction remain intact.

Great music playlist to read along

An emotional rollercoaster. I read this book when it first came out and decided to re-read now. I enjoyed the both times.

For the most part, a well written story. A few bits were glossed over that I wish had we'd been given more details for, and I sorta wish it were longer. But still good book from a promising author.3 stars.

The Duet is filled with many bittersweet moments, a tragedy, and a deep love between two people that don't want to talk about it. I really enjoyed this Jay and Izzy's story, and look forward to reading more by this author.

I really enjoyed this story. Izzy's bumpy ride through early jobs was delightful. I'm sure many readers will empathize as they think back to their "bottom of the rung" jobs. I also liked the "letters" as a way to get to know the main characters. Keep your stories coming, Jennifer.
