"Make friends with my daughter, and I'll pay you a thousand dollars."

Tara's junior year of high school is turned upside down after she collides into the life of Aurora Rosenberg, the autistic teenage heiress to Rosenberg Technologies. Mr. Rosenberg's offer feels wrong... but he says his daughter has no real friends, and Tara's family is desperate for cash. Now what?

Tara needs to make this work. It doesn't matter that her best friend moved away. Or that she may lose her house. Or that her other friends no longer like her.

Oh, yes: and there's a cute boy involved. And the mystery of why Aurora's dad is so desperate to buy her a friend, when Aurora is hardly a social pariah... As Tara watches pieces of her life fall apart, and new things come together, she must figure out what she values most.

Maddie's Girls by cammi1011

Ever since her parents death, Asha has been living her life hiding away. She has managed to keep herself clear from every single teenage drama her whole life, she was even proud of it... that is of course until one day, Maddison Fraser, a girl she once knew very well, decides to play with fire. Maddison is dating the five most popular girls in her school. The problem is, Maddison is manipulative, calculating and an unapologetic player. Maddie humiliates and laughs at them in front of the whole school, and soon enough, the school turns them into a joke, they are "Maddie's Girls" - no longer known for their popularity but rather because of the humiliation and embarrassment Maddison put them through. Fuelled by anger and heartbreak, the five girls (Rebecca, Nina, Lottie, Maggie & Cassie), come up with a plan to break Maddie's heart. Right in the middle of it, with no idea why, is Asha. Asha, unproblematic little Asha, gets sucked right into the middle of the drama and it flips her life upside down. But change isn't always a bad thing. Throughout the story, Asha and the girls will learn to open up, to trust, to let go, to forgive and love again.
