✩ #17 in body positivity ✩ 

Holly needs a job. And some cash. 

That's how she ends up at Cafe by the Sea, hired by the assistant manager, Oliver, who's cute, annoying, and totally unattainable. She's not really looking to fall in love though - it's just that Oliver is a really nice distraction. And she also kind of can't - overprotective parents. She's technically not allowed to date until she's in college. And she's okay with that - Holly has friends, a good family, decent grades, an okay body (it could always be better though), and life is pretty smooth for her.

But smooth isn't always best, as she discovers. Over the course of summer, Holly learns that there's a lot more to love than passionate kisses, you don't need a bikini to look good and feel good in the summer, and that the truth really does set you free. You just have to discover it.

⚠ TRIGGER WARNING; sensitive topics such as eating disorders & rape may be discussed. ⚠

The Dairy Queen by PennyEfternavn

Love in an ice cream shop? Violet Davis thinks the summer after her senior year in high school will be one of the best in her young teenage life, until her mom tells her to get a summer job. Spending all those hot summer nights at the local dairy bar, scooping ice cream for sticky, sweaty toddlers and grandparents is not her idea of a good time-that is until she falls for the bad boy co-worker, the one everyone tells her to stay away from. Let's just say the ice cream in the walk-in freezer isn't the only thing that will need to cool down, especially when we add a boy from high school to the mix; sweet, cute, with a big....heart. Violet's love life becomes just like her favorite soft-serve...twisted. ** This book is rated Mature! If you blush easily, you have been warned. Also, I swear like a sailor...my characters do too. ** ** I like to incorporate music with my chapters, I will often note where I think you should begin a song, this is just a suggestion :) The YouTube video for the music is posted at the top of each chapter. There is also a Spotify Playlist: https://tinyurl.com/4ujb3fd2 ** **All locations in this book, except for the ice cream shop and the work places of other characters are real places.

The Boys Of Echo Beach Vol. 2 by Nepenthe0000

Georgia, now 18, returns to Echo Beach for the second time. However, instead of needing to choose between Connor or Will, she only has one person in mind. Someone that may very well despise her entirely, someone that she's barely spoken to, and someone that unbeknownst to her has felt exactly the same way long before she even realised her own feelings. Contains some smut. Recommend listening to the music. It'll help you get the vibe. Trigger warning for possible sensitive topics. P.s. If you enjoyed The Summer I Turned Pretty then I definitely recommend you read this. (Disclaimer: I am in no way shape or form trying to offend anyone with any of the topics, events or language that may take place or be used in this book. Also, this is a work of fiction and only uses influences from The Summer I Turned Pretty. None of the characters from that show/book will appear. Only characters or themes similar to them. I simply made this because I am a fan.)

Typical Secrets by ashleyparkerrr

Two seniors that only have one thing in common, going to the same school. They hate each other because of their friend groups and past. As the two seventeen-year-old get forced to hang out together, things turn more and more complicated. Alissa wonders if Ryder still remembers or if she's just the one holding on to bad memories with him. She has always had a thing for him, but has he had a thing for her? Ryder was a part of the bad boy groups, the stoners that hung out outside of stores or outside of the school. His friends were annoying and always tended to mess with the girls. He's one of the more quiet kind but continues hanging out with them. Alissa is a part of the quiet group, that doesn't mean that she doesn't stick up for herself or argues with people least every day. She hangs out with at least two girls every day because she has no one else to stick with. She didn't mind, she didn't necessarily need many friends. People didn't like her because of her ways of saying the truth whenever it needed to be told. But this isn't your typical sassy and bad boy story, not at all. This book contains ; - body shaming. - toxic family. - purposely starving herself. - mature language - anxiety; anxiety and panic attacks.
