When Rosalie moves to the Outer Banks for the summer, sparks fly with the local lifeguard. *** British socialite Rosalie Harrington enjoys the power and respect that her position as Queen Bee brings, so she's horrified to hear that she'll be spending the summer in a remote American coastal town.

One day into her so-called holiday, a careless mistake has Rosalie fighting against a rip current. Fortunately, the local lifeguard is on hand to help.

"Especially since I'm forced to live with you every second of every day." "Sh. I'm trying to science," I said, not looking up from my binoculars. "See anything interesting?" "Not really. My vision's a little clouded from the fog and rain clouds you constantly emit." He laughed. "You never fail to amuse me, Rea." "But you just said-" "I just said you make me want to stab myself.

❝Someday, I will leave and never come back.❞ ❅ Daniella Evans plans on spending her summer holiday in complete and utter peace; and by peace, she clearly means lazing around while gaining inordinate amounts of weight in the very process. Her plan fails miserably as her parents announce that they'd planned a surprise trip to Australia, and since Daniella nurtured a hobby of taking photographs of whatever comes to view, she was clearly ecstatic. With countless trips to amusement parks, bonfires, numerous confessions, spontaneous kisses, and unveiled secrets, Daniella definitely didn't expect her summer holiday to turn out like this. And she definitely didn't expect to develop feelings for Christopher Stone; a cold, ruthless boy. But what happens when Daniella leaves? After all, time is their most limited commodity. One thing's for certain, though: life always gets in the way. 111 in teen fiction 12/3/2016 cover by @devoursheabooks

#4 COMING OF AGE ❤️ #5 POPULAR ❤️ "My eyelids flutter open and shut, awakening to the sunlight pouring in through the window. It beams onto the bed, providing my skin with almost as much warmth as Oliver's fingers do. They trail up and down my spine, soothing my exhausted body. I nuzzle my head into his chest, squashing my cheek against his peck. My limbs are sprawled over his body, my arm on his stomach, and my leg between his. He's a far better mattress than my actual mattress." Ferrari follows the life of Lucy Robins and her tight-knit group of friends. In a world of anxiety, wealth, and drugs, the group have both everything and nothing to lose. The series begins in their high school years, where Lucy gets her first glimpse at the beauty of love. Throughout the series, they each face heartbreak, loss, happiness, peace, and so much more. Their friendships shift and change, but their connections remain. The story doesn't end until years later, with Lucy's blossoming career, increasing strength, and if she's lucky... Oliver. "Because that's the problem with rich boys. They think they can get anything they want; and most of the time, they're right. Not only do they have enough money to buy everything, they also use it to get away with everything."
