“Some people say that their lives suck. Well, let me tell you what sucks. First, I’m a seventeen year-old girl who would rather receive an unabridged Oxford’s English Dictionary rather than some Gucci bag. Second, in a sisterhood camp where all girls wanted Gucci bags, I was the odd one out. Third, I’m suddenly forced to join the Kiss List Project—where we should write a list of all the guys we’ve kissed or will kiss until December and see who kissed most guys. And I wasn’t backing down, because fourth, I don’t like losing. But fifth: In my whole seventeen years of existence? I haven’t kissed anyone.” When Andrea Montgomery gets herself in a bet during camp, she finds herself sucked in a whirlwind of pepper mints, kissing booths, bad breath, bad kissers—and maybe true love’s kiss along the way. Summer’s over, and seventeen year-old Andrea comes home with something that would change her life. The Kiss List. School’s just about to start, and once she tells her best friends, Lia, Jordan, and Gwen about it, they’re all ready to help her fill it up. From crazy kissing booths, first date disasters, party crashing, speed and online dating to just about anything—Andy has five months to fill The Kiss List. But she promised herself—she wouldn’t fall in love with anybody. And… well, it turns out that promises? Meant to be broken.

However, Eleanor soon realizes that she needs a break from the fast lane to reconnect with who she is and what she really wants out of life.

Shawna Roberts is the girl that every guy turns to when they need a fake date, a fake girlfriend, a fake fling to make some other girl jealous, a fake couple photo to send to their parents... Shawna's pretty much seen it all. But no matter what they pay her for, everything she does has one common factor: it's all fake. That doesn't make being their paid girl much easier, though. Adam Ferrell is the campus heartthrob with the appearance of a god, an ego the size of Canada, and worshiped by everyone to monumentally ridiculous proportions. In Shawna's mind, it's a miracle his head fits through his shirt every morning. Yet despite their instant dislike for one another, Adam and Shawna each need what the other can offer. When Adam unexpectedly pushes into Shawna's life with a business deal, she's torn between her feelings and her sense of duty, which protects a secret she has kept for years, from even those closest to her. And as the two begrudgingly get to know each other, masks start slipping and secrets come spilling out, forcing each of them to confront some of their darkest moments and deepest fears.

Jesabel is a liar. When her only friend mysteriously disappears, she does what comes naturally. She keeps her truth from the world. Without warning, she is thrown into a web of lies far more dangerous and lethal than anything she could imagine. With an annoyingly charming boy by her side, can she unravel what she refuses to tell - the truth? WHITE LIES HAS BEEN REVISED, EDITED AND REWORKED! Happy late new year, friends! I'd like to take this opportunity to announce that White Lies, a story that has been up and running on Wattpad since 2011, has been re-written and revised for the coming decade. What does this mean? This entails the same characters you know and love, with better flow, better writing, more nuanced character development, more mature content, and entirely different plot lines. Jesabel's character has changed drastically since I last introduced her to the world (nearly NINE years ago! yikes!), and I wanted to make this story a more nuanced and modern take. When I had written White Lies, I had been just 14 years old. And I've done a ton of growing, learning, and unlearning over the years. This means that my characters have grown and developed with me. If you are an old friend and re-reader - welcome, and please enjoy the same old story you love with a brand new take! If you have started along this White Lies journey beginning in December and all throughout January, you might have read a half-edited and half-original version of the story. So please feel free to re-read at your leisure! I won't bite, I promise.
