Here, I'm going to criticize the stories of the What's Hot List, just because we've all seen stories that we know shouldn't be on there, for structure reasons or otherwise. Have fun reading, and feel free to tell the authors. I don't mind. Also, know that this is very brutal and honest. It's not only my opinion, but it's also fact. It's what everyone is thinking but doesn't have guts to say. Opposite the crappy stories, I'll also be reviewing stories that I think should be on the What's Hot list for a little bit of positivity. I hope you read these stories to see what, exactly, I speak of. Enjoy!

Three things you need to know about Theo Dawson: 1. Theo is a GIRL. 2. Theo has blue hair. 3. Theo is a babysitting goddess. Three things you need to know about Oliver Wood: 1. He's not a Harry Potter character (and therefore doesn't play Quidditch). 2. He’s on the swim team - and he likes to show off his rocking body. 3. He gets action - a lot of it. When Mr. and Mrs. Wood leave for their second honeymoon, they hire Theo to watch over seven-year-old Luna, eight-year-old Fred … and seventeen-year-old Oliver? Mr. Popular won’t like being bossed around by a blue-haired fairy-hulk, that’s for sure.

There are two things Harper Lynch wasn't expecting when she made out with an attractive stranger at her aunt's wedding. One: He would show up on her doorstep two weeks later as the son of an old family friend. Two: That he would be staying in her house, right next door to her. If living together isn't enough, Duke starts to go to Harper's school for the year, and immediately earns the status of the senior heartthrob. Suddenly, Harper, the girl who keeps mostly to herself and spends a lot of time in her room watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer marathons, is the envy of every girl in her high school. Harper couldn't care less, and despite that fact that she has insisted that she has in no interest in Duke, she is still subject to the wrath of jealous, catty bitches and the admiration of wide-eyed freshmen. It really doesn't help that Duke is constantly flirting with her in his own irritating yet charming way. Harper refuses to be yet another conquest, but is that what Duke wants? Or does he want more?

Most stories are about people. People who fall in love. But what about the rest of us? What about our stories? Are they not worth telling too? So this is not a love story. But who knows maybe there will be an essence of romance. But probably not. Because romance isn't real. It's a pass time for the bored. All Rights Reserved.

~complete~ Charlotte is as sweet as a strawberry. She's the kind of person who will drop everything just to help you, just to put a smile on your face. She's as sweet as the sugar that constantly runs through her bloodstream, and as excitable as the rush that comes with it. And then there's Benjamin, who's as sour as a lemon. The last thing on this Godforsaken planet he wants to do is acquaint himself with her. While Charlotte is kind and caring, he's rude and vulgar, while she's friendly and innocent, he's crass and mean. So how in the hell is that going to turn out?
