The Teenage Guide To Popularity [COMPLETE]
For Carter Vance, popularity is a world that she has purposely distanced herself from for many years. Why feed in to the totally superficial, social hierarchy of high school? She's perfectly happy being an outsider. But when she's challenged to prove that anyone can be popular, she puts everything on the line to make a point - that popularity is as fickle and cliché as all the teen movies make it out to be. What she does instead is ruin her true friendships, hurt the only guy who has ever mattered, and dig herself a hole that's much more complicated than the plot of all of her favourite movies combined. {Book 1 in the Teenage Guide series}Complete
The way you call me yours
They've been best friends since birth. Now they're basically living together, falling in love, and calling each other names like it's foreplay. Leah Rhodes has always had a plan: keep her head down, survive her senior year, and try not to think about the boy she's been in love with since before she even knew what that meant. Nash Gentry has never had a plan-except making sure Leah always has a place to land. Even if that means watching her fall for someone else. Even if that means pretending he's not completely, obsessively in love with her. But when jealousy, heartbreak, and one impulsive kiss shatter the boundary between best friends and something more, they'll have to decide if love is worth the risk of losing everything they've ever known. Because they've always belonged to each other. Even if neither of them knew it yet.Complete
