Pretentious Volume 1 - Alfredo's
Danny promised his dying father he would take care of the family, but a promise looks much different when someone is twelve than it does at sixteen. When his sister leaves for college, he realizes he’s trapped in his father’s dream. He runs the family restaurant with his mother and tucks his own dreams away, until he falls in love with Aryn, a girl in his chorus class.
Aryn shares Danny’s interest and applies at Alfredo’s so she can be near him. Danny manages to arrange enough time for a date and romance blossoms - until Aryn finds Danny with another girl he swears is just a friend.
Pretentious is a series of YA/NA novellas that follow Danny and Aryn in their attempt to create a band and follow their dreams, while honoring Danny’s commitment to take care of his mother, a nurturing Italian woman everyone calls Mama, and his sister, Becky. It’s a story about family, commitment, love and the confusion of betrayal.

4.5 and 5 Star Reviews
Being the first book in the series, there is a lot of ground work laid out but Jena Baxter has the ability to do this without just “telling” everyone’s background. In this beginning of Danny and Aryn’s journey, we meet some great people. Mama is wonderful! I just want to hug that woman! I think that she is going to be such a big player throughout this story. Danny and Aryn have such a great connection, it’s innocent, sweet and has a lot of room to grow. There is several things going on and I cannot WAIT to see where they are headed! Definitely grab this book and join me on this journey. 4.5 STARS!
I Love jena writing each book I have read from her has been different then another books i have read and she did not disappoint me in this one he had love romance conflict. A mix of all I absolutely loved it and can't wait to read more
