✩ #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.

Whilst there she meets the cousin Connor and his best friend Will. Over the course of Georgia's time there she will experience her first love, hate, heartbreak and acceptance. 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.)

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. I have taken some liberties with the hours of these businesses, but they are all brick and mortar places that can be visited.**

Pumpkin and Plum by SowmyaVenkatesan1

I am Sam, a 17-year-old in my junior year, weighing 200 pounds. I am fat; calling me fat is an understatement. I am obese. If you call getting a straight A+ in algebra and trigonometry a nerd, well! I am a nerd too. I would be lying if I said that I was never hurt when people called me a 'fatty nerd'. I was hurt. Additionally, being best friends with Mia attracts a lot of bullies. Mia is a blonde. Well, that describes her. She is a blonde through and through. Let me describe her in detail. She has shiny golden blonde hair, startling blue eyes, a sharp nose, and full lips. Did I mention she won 'Miss Teen California'? She is a beauty with no comparison. She is my best friend and won't let anyone bully me. So people calling me fat doesn't bother me anymore. Actually, it makes me happy, seeing the indignation and anger from Mia. She makes me feel special. I would be a fool if I didn't fall in love with this girl. Oh! Yes, I forgot to mention. I love Mia. And she doesn't know that.

See You Again by CoffeeAndSilverInk

"Oh look, she's here, again, yuppie" "Is that sarcasm, William?" "Yes, how did you know?" 🧡🧡🧡 Will has everything he could ask for. A loving family, friends, a place in the most exclusive school in the country, a cool house and an enormous collection of video games. Not to mention, he's the captain of the swimming team. Although he is extremely privileged, something is missing. Or rather, someone. Red lipstick on pretty smiles, black eyelashes that bat over mint green eyes, perfectly styled hair cascading down her back, musical laughter and a silky voice. In his eyes, Vanessa is a perfectly beautiful human being. But she doesn't need a man, and Will's attempts at wooing her aren't getting him anywhere. Enter McKenzie. Vanessa's friend is everything but someone Will would befriend. He soon realizes that she's more trouble than help in his quest to make Vanessa fall in love with him. His goal? Get McKenzie out of the equation and seduce Vanessa into his loving arms. Unfortunately, he's yet to find out that the task might not be as easy as he wants it to be. 🧡🧡🧡 Start: 18/12/20 End: 26/08/21

You can Bet on It by Jelly-Bellies

As the end of summer inches closer feelings fly between two best friends. Will they throw everything they have worked for? Or will they finally start thinking with their hearts?

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.

One beach house trip, no parents, no rules, just fun! What all could possibly happen you would think, well let's find out.
