"The favourite food of us all, the pizza, if it's properly baked and has all the right topping on it, it contains over one thousand calories. The American chocolate chip cookies we all love and cherish very much - one of them has roughly three hundred calories. If we drink the three litres we're supposed to drink of water of something else, like one of our very favourite sodas, Coca Cola, Sprite, Dr. Pepper, that calculates up to over half the calories you're supposed to consume per day. And don't even get me started on birthday cake..." Bev Nicholls may be plus-size but that's the least interesting thing about her and certainly not what you should be paying attention to when there's her beautiful, well-groomed roommate who likes to get a manicure after his every gym session, her new job as a teacher with her first class of mid-puberty teens and her views on all of that with just the right sense of humor and confidence, while not taking it or herself too seriously.

Cami Wimberley has a plan, and that plan includes no room for boys-especially the big time party animal, Hunter Wilder, no matter how handsome and charismatic he is. She's beautiful, a senior, extremely talented, gets good grades, and is working her way toward her dream college to be a musical theater major. Everything is perfect. Hunter Wilder does not want a girlfriend-that would complicate his life way too much right now. He especially doesn't want this girl, Miss-Goody-Two-Shoes, so how come he can't keep his eyes off her? He tries to keep her at arms length, but fate seems to keep pushing them together. Before long, it's obvious to everyone they're crushing on each other. As sparks begin to fly, Hunter finds himself sinking deeper and deeper into hot water. Soon he's scrambling to keep Cami from discovering his dark secret-one that can destroy their entire relationship. (*Note: This book is also published on the author's page @LaceyWeatherford.)

She misses her old school―where her talent as an artist carried more weight than she does―and longs for her old family life, before her parents got divorced and her mom reinvented herself. So Lori decides that the only way to survive the rest of the year is to blend into the background, but her plans go awry when she discovers that the most popular (and hottest) guy at Bay Water High, Jake, is a volunteer at her brother's school. When her brother befriends Jake's sister, Lori is suddenly thrust into his unfamiliar and exhilarating world of water polo, parties, and stargazing. But with her relationship with her mother deteriorating, old anxieties resurface and Lori finds a new artistic release that unknowingly ignites a powerful movement. When the authorities start asking questions, Lori realizes that finding her voice might have gotten her into a world of trouble...but sometimes standing up for what you believe in is as important as standing up for yourself.

Her mom and dad despise eachother, she has no friends, and her grades are as good as popcorn and ketchup put together (bad, you didn't get the analogy). The only thing she attracts is rainy days. They both abhor each other. One is perfect, the other is disastrous. So when they are forced to compete in a dance competition together, the only things that will come out of it will be total annihilation (or so they think), and some sweet moves.
