~ New Cover Coming Soon ~
Penelope never understood love, she never felt it, never really witnessed it. It wasn't something she was taught in school, so why was it important? All her friends were off going on dates and having sex and what was she doing? She was at home reading and singing, but no one needed to know about that. She wasn't a quiet kid, she was in theatre and she often performed on stage. She wasn't skinny but she knew how to carry her weight. Why hasn't someone tried to take her out on a date, why hasn't anyone tried to flirt with her? Well, they have, but she was too clueless to ever understand. When not one, not two but many potential relationships have made their way to her, what is she supposed to do? Can she figure out her life before leaving for college?
~ SO SORRY IM BAD AT DESCRIPTIONS BUT I PROMISE THIS WILL BE GOOD~

Aarons the type of guy you would only be seen with popular girls. Until she caught his eyes. ___________________________________________ I'm being woken up by someone climbing into my bed. "What the hell?" I see Aaron trying to get under my sheets. "Aaron what are you doing get out." "I like being with you." He slurs and that's when I smell the alcohol. I lay back down and he snuggles into my sheets facing me. "Why are you here?" I whisper. "It hurt me to see you cry." I just stare at him confused. He has his eyes closed and I just stare at him. "Emma is a bitch." I let out a small giggle. "Then why do you hang out with her?" "Good fuck." I just nod. I don't really like hearing him say that. Do I like Aaron? I mean he's attractive but I know he would never give me a second look. Who would? "Your so beautiful." I hear him whisper, I instantly open my eyes thinking I imagined him saying that. "Who?" I ask. "You." I feel butterflies in my stomach. I've never been called beautiful by a guy before.Complete

And then the new girl shows up with her amazing dance moves and intoxicatingly confusing logic, and he can't seem to get her out of his head. She isn't the favorite girl of the school, not to mention his friends, and she doesn't show any interest towards him, but he has to try. The girl with the mysterious ways has got him wrapped around her scarred little finger. Not Andy Being the girl with no friends is never easy- especially when you have major trust issues and problems that can only be discussed with a shrink. That's why instead of slowly letting people into her life, she chose to shut them out completely. It seems easier that way, which is until she moves to Bangor, Maine and catches the eye of Cole, the football quarterback and heart throb of the school. He makes her feel things that she didn't think we're capable, and he shows how to make a bad situation into something semi-tolerable. It gets her thinking that maybe cliche boys with secrets aren't such a bad thing. During their 17th year, Andy and Cole must face the problems of high school, social hierarchy, their pasts, relationships, trust, friendships, and even love. Both of them knowing that stories like this never happen to kids like them, but they're willing to try anyway.Complete

And for the first time in her life Penelope truly feels like she's alone in the world.

Her Favorite Trope
Leo recently got into the idea of romance, which used to be at the very bottom of her interest list next to working out, on the summer before her 3rd year in college. Ever since she was hooked, she'd read over 25 books that summer and even wrote essays and critiques on each tropes. Her friends were amused and couldn't wait for the school year to start. They even all agreed on the consensus that 3rd year would be the year Eleonore Sanchez gets laid-falls in love. But before they could drag her to blind dates, clubs, and get togethers, Leo falls for the most cliche and beginner trope everyone on the planet knows, love at first sight. And it gets even better. It just had to be her university's golden boy Harry, who also happens to be the guy she shares afew classes with. Now, everyone likes Harry. At some point, everyone falls in love with him, some even gets to date him but it all ends the same way... people get over him. Leo's friends won't let her settle for the golden boy and get her fantasies crushed, not when it's her first time actually considering love. Now let's see as Leo navigate through awkward blind dates, not so cute meet cutes, messy tropes, heart-fluttering coincidences, and bonding with a half- consumed tissue roll at 3am.
