Jack Gordon has wanted nothing more in his life than to be what his father always thought he could: a writer. After Jack's father mysteriously disappears before the end of his junior year of high school, he decides to document the events of his summer in the form of letters. At first he has a major case of Writer's Block, that is, until he meets Beth Gannon and her best friend, Ellen when they come to vacation in Jack's town for the summer. Ever since her tragic breakup with her boyfriend, Travis, Beth has tried to escape the good-girl persona she's had her entire life. She knows we've only one life to live, so why not choose now to live it? The problem is that Jack and his friends have an awful game that they like to play: One and Done, a series of One-Night-Stands. Jack is given the challenge of sleeping with Beth before she leaves his town or he'll have to give up his reigning spot of captain of the varsity baseball team to his best friend, Chris. He's worked hard for that spot and is determined to keep it. With his newfound interest in Beth, and his newfound interest in finding his father, Jack's summer is about to get a lot more interesting.

Was published, but is now off the market--I'm sorry! Brianne is the opposite of her best friend, Kyla. Kyla is open-minded; Brianne is closed off, judgmental. Kyla is a hopeless romantic. Brianne? Not so much. So when Kyla shoves an apple into her face telling her to throw it across the cafeteria so she can find her future love, Brianne is anything but interested. And yet she throws the apple anyway. Who does the apple hit? Dannon Barone, the most popular boy in school. Though he's seemingly sweet and all-smiles, Brianne dislikes him. She thinks he's a fake, a fraud, someone who is just charming the crowds in order to gain popularity. But Brianne is about to learn that stereotypes are not true, and that she's been too quick to judge those around her. Brianne Nichols' life is about to change forever. And what does she have to thank for it? A bruised piece of fruit. Who would have known that a stupid apple could be right? | technically not part of the summary | Okay, so I know the prenote says to find any errors you can. Just letting you know there's no point to that anymore because I've reedited it two more times after this one (extensively so), and already sent it in to be self-published. The only reason that the prenote is still up is because a fan made an amusing slideshow and if I edit anything then the tags for the wattys will be gone and I'll no longer be entered , hahah!

Kennedy (Kenna) isn't known for her beauty. She's never been complimented on her appearance unless being called beautiful by your family counts, and to Kenna- it doesn't. Sick of being ignored because of her looks, Kennedy gives herself a makeover but it isn't very successful. After encountering a crying Marissa Rivers on the behalf of her obnoxious brother, Noah, she becomes acquaintances with the girl. After a chat about Kenna's failed efforts at makeup and how she's a nondrinker, she offers Kenna the help of her and her friends. Kenna graciously agrees but there's a catch. Kenna will have to be the girls' designated driver to the next few parties that they want to attend until she can do her own makeup which may take a while but what happens when Kenna accidentally gets drunk at one of the parties and Noah has to bring her and the other girls back to their home? She gets involved in a lot more than she planned. And it seems as if all she wanted was to become beautiful.
