Soul mates from their first meeting at age eleven, Harper and Grace know better than to fall in love. Yet they do. And are too much in love to care. But formidable powers control their lives: shame, fear, and especially money. Potent forces that will challenge their love to its very limits. This breathtaking debut novel is a feast for the senses, an erotic, melodic, lushly-detailed coming-of-age story that erupts with conflict and passion.
Gina Daggett is best known as “Lipstick” of the columnist duo Lipstick & Dipstick, and as an award-winning writer and successful blogger. Jukebox is her first novel, and is in pre-production for a feature film.

Teresa DeCrescenzo - February 2011: What a charming love story with a message -- two messages if you count the song titles that tie into the book chapters, and in turn, to the relationship between Harper and Grace. The important message to take away from this lush coming of age story is that the closet is toxic... It's hard to believe that this is a first novel.
