Jack and Alice are best friends. They have known each other since secondary school. Alice certainly isn't one of those shy, quiet girls. No, she is loud, strong headed and speaks her mind. Although she isn't one of the most reserved girls you would ever meet, she, like many, still believes in true love and that her prince is out there - much to Jack's amusement.
Jack, like Alice is a strong willed person, loud, direct and honest. Their personalities are so alike and it's a wonder how they don't clash. But unlike Alice, he hates the idea of being tied down to just one person - why have one when you could go out every night and get a new one? It's better to live your life as a player than as a boyfriend or husband...Right?
Even the thought of true love is hilarious. Let's be honest, it doesn't even exist...Right?
Wrong.
When Jack meets Gabriella, his whole player lifestyle is turned upside down as he tries his hardest to get her attention. He feels a totally different attraction to her, he doesn't want to just use her, he wants to keep her, he actually wants to be labelled the title of being a 'boyfriend', of being her boyfriend.
So when Jack realises that his whole player reputation is what is driving Gabriella away, he requests the help of his best friend Alice to help him change and to help him prove himself worthy of Gabriella's love and attention.
But along the way, his love, focus and attraction gets mixed up and now he doesn't even know which girl it is that he truly loves and which girl he wants to prove his worthiness to. How will he decide...but when he does make his decision, is it too late? Has he pushed the one girl he's ever truly loved too far?
Let's face it, someone's going to get their heart broken...question is, who will it be?

Loving the Enemy
Dear Olive, I hate you. I hate that you were born and that your human and have a face. I hate that you live next door to me and I hate that I can't sleep at night because the thought of you has forever left a vivid image creased in the back of my mind. And most of all, I hate that you hate me. Hate, Everest Since the first grade when Olivia Kingston and her family moved in right across the street from Kyle Everest, he had believed to have instantly hated her. (At least thats how he tells the story) And maybe it was just because of the mere fact of her existence, or maybe it was that time she ate the last fruit snack at lunch, or let's not forget, in fifth grade she stole his partner in crime, being his twin sister Madeline. Now being 17 years old Kyle Everest still holds this unknown resentment against his next door neighbor Olivia Kingston, and torches her in any possible way he can, but what would happen when Olivia finally gets sick of letting Kyle torcher her unexplainably? Everything would change in the matter of one day when Olivia accidentally gets them both locked in the principals office in search of the same thing: The truth. But while staying together in a cramped room with no phones and surviving off nothing but the secret stash of their principal, while the entire schools is off on spring break, secrets will be told and feeling will unravel. And let's not forget, hate letters will be sent. This book may seem light and fun but it has some mature scenes and dark thoughts that I'd suggest for viewers 16+Complete
