Ananya's plan was to keep a low profile and complete her high school. Falling in love was not her plan. Falling for devilishly handsome nerd was definitely not too. Neither "pulling his pants down" was in her to do list nor was getting into trouble with bad boys. Reviews: I must say this is the first book that I read in one seating. The book got me hooked until the last chapter. It is everything - funny, romantic, depressing, heartbreaking, engaging, thought provoking (at sometimes). Totally Good, once started the book get attracted to know whats next, and for complete the book. There's some magic in the way you weave your story.. it's something we can relate to.. something we can predict.. but still very compelling to. read! and touches the heart.Complete

Blindsided
COMPLETED Burton High is not a white-collared, run of the mill school.

I may have boobs and long, blonde hair that my mom begs me to curl, but I would rather slap my toes into a door frame on repeat than resemble a young lady at all. So yes; I am one hundred percent a jock. ~~~ Paige Miller is determined to earn her spot at one of the best hockey programs in North America. But her boyfriend is counting on that exact same spot.
