Holly Thorne has a normal life in Minnesota. Normal friends and family and grades. Her personality may be a little hyper and bubbly, but all in all, she's normal. Well, except for the fact that her brother, Jackson Thorne, is the world's most famous teen actor in Hollywood. He left their family two years ago in Minnesota and ever since then, he's had nothing but success. So, Holly hasn't seen her brother in two years, but now, she's moving in with him for the summer. What she didn't know about her brother, was that he is best friends with Ryder West. Hollywood's golden boy, aka Holly's obsession. She also comes to terms with the fact that not only are they best friends, but Jackson also lives next door to Ryder and his family. This summer just took a very interesting twist for Holly, Jackson, and the whole West family. © 2014 Madeline States.

Nothing much is going right for shy, bubbly nineteen-year-old Ashleigh Apple. The first guy she ever felt she loved has a brand new girlfriend. Her family never take her seriously. Her best friends are moving away... and sometimes they don't feel much like friends to begin with. Everyone around her is moving on with their lives while she stays exactly the same. Until one night, a chance encounter with an exciting boy shakes her up and makes her realise there is more to life than being the safe, predictable Ash that everyone knows and loves. But sometimes people don't change for the better. And sometimes it's easy to miss the people who are best for us. --- FIRST LOVE, WORST LOVE is the third story in the "Love Story Series" (First two titles are "Reasons To Love A Nerd" Like Me and "Could You Love An Apple?") - but can also be read as a standalone for those new to the series. Thank you so much @Avylinn for the cover :)

Louisa and Kinsley have been best friends since their first day of college. As graduation approached, they were determined to finish their studies in style - by planning a crazy cross-country road trip to California. But when family issues send Louisa back to the UK early, they're forced to put their plans on hold, and settle for a one-year reunion instead. Twelve months later, as the pair hit the road, it soon becomes clear that things have changed. A year is a long time to be apart from your best friend - especially when you're on opposite sides of the Atlantic. As old and new lives mix, Louisa and Kinsley realize it may have been more than time zones that left them out of sync, and that a week-long road trip could be the perfect way to get their friendship back on track.
