Juliet Harrington, a wealthy teen, who has a throne in the Hills and the world at her feet leads a pretty hectic life. Sure she's been working with a silver spoon in her mouth since the day she was born, but that silver spoon doesn't make it any easier to juggle running a high school empire, trying not to fail all of her classes, captaining a cheerleading team, and striking the fear of God into every last one of her peers. Toss in a very random, very sudden, very intense new crush and Juliet finds herself in one hell of a head spinning whirlwind. The path she's on is a rocky one, but she will not tolerate failing to come out on top on any one of those fronts. If that means she has to scratch out a few eyes in order to get there, then that's exactly what she'll do. And she'll do it with a smile on her face and her favorite pair of Jimmy Choos on her feet.

"The question clearly asks you to round to the nearest tenth. If I'm not mistaken, which I don't believe I am, answer 'C' has two decimal places." I smirk as his mouth twitches into a frown. We're still standing. "Very well, Miss. Jones," Mr. Neilson says, projecting another question. "I can't stand you," Carter mumbles in my ear. I turn my head towards him, pressing my lips against his ear. "Then sit the fuck down, Conners," I whisper. "I'm winning." ... Fairridge Prep is for the best of the best. Sadie Jones, stubborn and clever, is set on being the best. Returning from winter break feeling, more so than ever, that she has stolen her sister's dream, Sadie is determined to spend the rest of Junior year proving that she deserves everything she's worked towards. Carter Conners, notorious flirt (only when it comes to Sadie), will do anything it takes to not spend the rest of his life working at his parents' diner. Whether it's running for the track team or debating, Carter is always competing, and competing to win. Sadie and Carter have been rivals since freshman year, constantly bickering and trying to best each other. But when the rivals are thrown into a week long debate competition that, along with getting the top spot on the Principal's List, will guarantee one of them the title of Valedictorian next year, they find themselves enjoying each other's company more than they would've ever expected. And it leaves them wondering: "Do we really hate each other?"

Maybe it's the way he's like cool waters dancing on flames. Or maybe it's the way his spirals of earthy brown collide with golden flecks. He engulfs me in this warmth and I can't seem to pull away. His dark brown eyes seem to be searching for something and I'm afraid if he stares for too long, I would unravel. I'm holding on to secrets that keep me safe, but he has his secrets too. __________ Grief is an ocean and Magalise Parker is drowning.

When Cleo Cunningham is invited to the literary competition of a lifetime, she figures it's just what she needs to cap off her gap year - the perfect addition to her college resume and (if she's lucky) a one way ticket to a full-ride scholarship. But when Dane Anderson, an arrogant, self-proclaimed intellect who hates everything from the way Cleo writes to the way she dresses, comes onto the scene, the competition becomes about more than just the sweet opportunities it has to offer.
