My name is Bethany Woodcock (you can imagine the nicknames) and quite frankly, I'm pretty sure my only options at this point are to join a convent or accept my fate as the inspiration for the sequel to 'The 40 year old virgin'.
BUT with just one week left of sixth form and the longest and best summer ever ahead of me (did someone say LEAVERS, FESTIVALS, GIRLS HOL 2K20, BEVS N BESTIES?!) maybe my luck will turn around!!
So if you want to hear more about my summer of love, heartbreak, hysterics, and blah blah general teen angst, then give this a read!
Bethany, out! *mic drop

The Best Kind of Betrayal
It's the first day of June's senior year and everything is already going wrong. Her first boyfriend and supposedly love of her life dumps her for someone else, her heart is broken and feels like it won't ever heal again and her best friend makes her join the most unnecessary club on earth to help her find new friends she most definitely does not need. Still. New chances are for new beginnings, right? Instead of falling into a deep dark pit of self pity (however tempting that may sound), all of this betrayal ends up leading her to the best friends she's ever had and the most exciting school year of her life. Oh - and a whole new fake boyfriend, to get some revenge on that idiot who dumped her. And who knows. Maybe even more.
