Description:
"You and I both know that any girl would kill to be in your position, with me, right now." He smirks, knowing that what he's said is completely and utterly true.
Lea Wilson and River Parker don't mix; they don't like the same things, their lives are majorly different. But, what if these two people who are least expected to spend time with each other are doing exactly that? And, not only at school but at home as well.
After Lea's house falls apart due to a termite infestation, the Wilson's are invited to stay at an old family friend's mansion of a house. The family friend also happens to be River's father.
I'll give you time to digest that information.
Yes, you're right. The sarcastic nerd and the egotistical heart-throb live under the same roof and encounter a series of events that make the two do something they didn't think would happen. They grow closer, and closer, and closer, until...well, you'll have to find that out for yourself.
Follow them through their adventures of falling in love, getting their hearts broken, and learning lessons that explain there is more to life than they have ever imagined.

Why It's a Gem: This was one of the first books I read on Wattpad. I remember freaking out every time a new chapter was posted. It's a fabulous high school romance filled with characters who have substance, heart, and problems people can either relate to or empathize with. It is sweet and heartwarming but also gritty and raw, which I think, are pretty indicative of the high school experience.
