Mary Sue Jensen is just starting high school after moving from her modest home in southern Virginia to a modest home in... northern Virginia. Over the summer she spends most of her time watching teen romance movies and reading on Wattpad to try to see what to expect in her new school. Using her knowledge of dialogue, clichés, and plot points from her chosen media, she navigates her new environment with startling incompetence.

UPDATES TUES/ THURS
This book is a parody on the popular "not like other girls" tropes found in most popular books on this website. It will somewhat explore how these unrealistic stereotypes and narratives can affect a young person's expectations. By writing this I do not mean to discredit any author on this site who uses the trope, they are still undoubtedly talented and deserve all of the praise and credit they have from their stories. :)

Holding Back [COMPLETED]
"I love how this book is turning out!😍 Not cliche at all!" - i_hatecliche "We might live next door to each other," Haley said, "but we don't live in the same world." Hooking her fingers around her backpack straps, she walked away from Jace. She had barely gone a few steps before he was at her side again. "What makes you believe we don't live in the same world?" he asked. "As far as I can tell, we do." "No, we don't. I'm...me and you're Jace Cortez. The dream of every girl. The friend to every guy. The star of the school. Girls. Sports. You're the ultimate player." "It sounds like you have a preconceived notion of who I am." "And it's one that has yet to be proven wrong." From books and a lifetime of sitting on the sidelines, Haley is convinced she knows how the world works, specifically high school. Everyone has a label and a box they fit in. This knowledge, paired with parents who are fighting, a brother leaving soon for college and a best friend who moved away has made her decide to never get involved. It will take being forced to work with her fellow juniors on a project, a boy next door with a infectious smile, a star gazer with an adorable puppy, and an unlikely pair of fangirls to make her see how truly wrong she was about everything. "IT'S NOT CLICHÉ!!!" - Moria987 "This is the reason y I keep coming back to this book...It's simply a breathtaking journey" - mariyamsajorawala "I don't usually comment but this is one of the best books I've read here.
