It's the Stars that Control Us

Audrey Marren's life is complicated enough as it is, what with dealing with her older brother's cheating girlfriend, the high school of hell, awful cafeteria food, and the usual dislikes of any sixteen year old's life. But it looks like the big man upstairs doesn't believe her life is that bad, so he decides to add more complications. Enter now: Cole Ryder, i.e. school's one and only true bad boy. He does what he wants, when he wants (as his motto goes). And this involves anything from playing hooky to breaking innocent girl's hearts to partying to fighting to...well the list goes on, you can imagine, right? Audrey's frustrated with life as it is, and is genuinely grateful for the simple things in life, chocolate, romantic comedies, her bedroom, and enter now: her two closest and dearest best friends; Samantha O'Connor and Timothy Oswald. But you can't always have life the way you want it and when Audrey goes into sister mode to save her brother from going to a party after his girlfriend, she finds herself in the most awful situation yet. A game of truth or dare. With no way out, but to reply with a simple dare or truth, Audrey distracted by her brother's drunkened stupor, unknowingly mutters dare. Unable to back out, Audrey is dared to make the one and only Cole Ryder fall in love with her within only a month or so. And once he's done so, she is then to break his heart. Just like he did to the girl who dared Audrey into this mess. Now slammed into a new reality, Audrey is stuck between her raging feelings for Cole and her new, but hopefully short lasting friendship with Rachel-the girl who wants nothing but to get revenge on the guy. Will Audrey ever get ahold of her life and bring things back into her control or will everything continue its slow spin towards chaos? And what happens after Cole's fesses up about his feelings-will she be able to fulfill the desperate needs of Rachel's revenge or will her heart get the best of her? Find out in: Stars that Control Us
