Keeping up with the Jones' was never so complicated!
Since elementary school days, Katie wanted to be like beautiful, blonde Amanda Exeter, a woman she views with equal amounts disdain and admiration. After years of hoping and wishing, Katie and her husband, Rich, finally move into the same gated community as Amanda.
But the moving truck no sooner leaves the driveway of their Beverly Hills abode, when Katie decides something is terribly wrong. The 'move-in condition' home now seems obviously void of what the neighbors call essentials -- built-in barbecues, french doors, imported fabrics, and luxury vehicles in the garage.
Katie immediately launches a plan to remake herself and Rich as the neighborhood's newest "It" couple. But her efforts backfire with every hair-brained scheme to climb the social ladder.
Fans of Kevin Kwan's "Crazy Rich Asians," Allison Pearson's "I Don't Know How She Does It" and Sophie Kinsella's "Confessions of a Shopaholic" will love this satirical, chick lit comedy. Buy "Keeping Up" and discover that the grass isn't always greener in a bigger, brighter pasture.

The Moving Times Of Caroline Proudly
Caroline is 16 when she suddenly decides that her perfectly normal and loving home life is absolutely and completely intolerable. Suddenly moving out of home in 1988 is the beginning of a 13 year journey. As the journey continues, the passage of time has no significance. Always with the ability to find the humorous side, each address marks another chapter in Caroline's life and is the backdrop for the people she meets and the events that occur. Accommodation varies from unheated rooms and houses with wheel-less cars jacked-up outside to Regency flats and rural cottages. Transportation means vary from a single use bicycle, to Betsa and the faithful Dwanetta. Flatmates vary from a lovely Brummie and a singing nun to a dying dog, a ginger laminator, a 3 nippled geek and an accidental spell with a local drugs baron. Events vary from harbouring boarding schoolgirls, exercising racehorses, the occasional rave, trading in shampoo and marmite on toast to looking for stolen laundry, going undercover and self-defence with a hockey stick. Jobs vary from not having one to shop work, bartending and au pair through to getting a toe on the corporate ladder. There is infatuation, and love from various sources so there is also disappointment, and breakups by varying means and for various reasons. Education varies from a bit of formal study to a large dollop of the University of Life. The latter being the real reason Caroline left home in the first place - to grow up in her own way through her own experiences with no-one else to blame but herself and the interesting hand that life deals along the way. Caroline moves home 19 times, only to find that the 20th move takes her to the last place she ever expected to be. Back where she started. Things aren't always as they seem...Kumpleto![Fag Hag [#Wattys 2016]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/70196690-256-k286893.jpg)
Fag Hag [#Wattys 2016]
This is not a dark lonesome journey down heartbreak road. This is vodka, sparkles, and dick-to-dick tickle fights. Annie Paige has been infatuated with Jaime Knox since she was old enough to paint her nails and sigh over Dirty Dancing. Accustomed to getting her way, Annie never dreams that Jaime might have other plans. Never mind that her friends insist he's gay. Annie embarks in a must-find-love meltdown, manically dating to replace Jaime in her heart. Dates with Brine the singing emo and wealthy Dr. Troll highlight the depressing reality of life as a singleton, causing Annie to crack. She hops aboard a redeye flight from Dallas to Los Angeles. The ultimate goal: to crash Jaime Knox's wedding and reclaim her long lost love. Will Annie's journey lead her to truth, revenge, and the ultimate fairy tale? Or will she allow her fantasy of romance to destroy the true love of a lifetime? ***NEW CHAPTER EVERY TUESDAY & FRIDAY*** I don't own the image for the cover! Photo credit to Trading Up. Hey y'all!

I hope you enjoy the read as much as I enjoyed the write!Kumpleto
Perfect Fate ✔ (Moved To Inkitt)
Wattpad Creator! Happy and proud. HIM: Staying the night? Not my thing. Hearts and flowers? Boring. Falling in love? Not anytime soon. Settling down? Off the table. Getting married? You're kidding me, right? That was me before the night we first met. Because, well, meeting a hot chick that made me hard just by looking at her was definitely not in my plans when I sneaked out of a woman's apartment after what was already a long night. Taking her home and getting her a chocolate cake, though, was kind of intentional. But falling for her? Boy, that was pretty much inevitable. HER: He came out of nowhere, literally. I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy! And just like that, despite my poor attempts of escaping him, he had me wrapped in his world. A crazy yet heart-fluttering world, that I have absolutely no intentions of leaving anytime soon. ------- Character development is a main theme in this book. It shows you how they both work on changing for the better, while trying to overcome the obstacles in their relationship and fight for each other till the end. ** Warning!!

The Perks Of Falling For Your Bestfriend✔
"In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." -Pride and Prejudice. -Jane Austen. Allison Waters is a girl as simple as they come, atleast that's what she believed. And to be honest she did enjoy a simple life for the past two years. All she wanted to pass her senior year in peace and be happy in life. What she wasn't expecting was to be back in town with a certain Greek God of a Devil acting more annoying than ever... Calling him tall dark and handsome would be the understatement of the century. He is the arrogant quarterback and one of the most popular guys in shcool. He is as I mention previously the reincarnation of the devil in his actions and a Greek God in the looks department, with startling blue eyes, a sinful body and gorgeous hair, who may at different times define the words Cocky and Adorable. Quite a contrast isn't it? Well that's who he is, or for that matter how we all are... a bit of both. Ashton Fobes is Alli's bestfriend, well Ex-Bestfriend, he is also her arch nemisis, her sworn enemy, but he is also the only one who can make her push her limits and challenge her in ways she never thought possible. Soon they were playing with Cupid's arrows trying to set up the unlikeliest couple imaginable, but what they seemed to have forgotten was Fate's wierd sense of humor and so it turned out while they were playing with Cupid's Arrows, he was aiming them at these two instead. Ps: I have now unpublished most of the chapters. Highest Ranking: 30, 35, 50 in teen fiction. 32, 66 in ChickLit. 46, 47, 78 in humor.Kumpleto
Dress Me ||z.m.
**Book 2 titled Keep Me is up** The lights were off, all except the emergency light that flickered every now and then. I got chills just being here by my lonesome... at least I thought I were. I heard the door then footsteps coming directly towards me. "Hello?" I called out, angling my head to get a clearer view. I waited a couple seconds then suddenly I saw this dark figure walk under the emergency light. The moment the light hit those soft brown eyes, I knew exactly who it was, feeling safe enough to turn my attention back to closing the closet door. "What are you doing here?" I asked, throwing him a look over my shoulder. I felt him coming closer behind me, causing me to turn around. "I came here to be dressed," He was now inches away from me. "Isn't that your job, babe?" "Only for the next hour and a half," I said, backing up as he moved closer. When I felt the doors of the closet pressed against my back, a couple of swears escaped my mouth and I knew that I had no other choice but to await his next move. He was now an inch away from my face, staring me directly in the eyes. He leaned down to my ear, grazing it before he spoke. "Then dress me."Kumpleto

Boring to Beautiful
His face was only inches from mine, but yet it still seemed his confidence was beaming. "You seem to forget that I am the king of getting girls to fall for me, and I know that by the end of this year, you will hopelessly fall in love with me." I hoped he was wrong. But yet, he was probably right. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kennedy Everson was never anything but "average." And she was okay with that. But when she finds out she's moving to a different state, and her boyfriend is dumping her because he wants "a bad girl," she decides to take the opportunity to "reinvent herself." New clothes, new hair, new makeup, and new personality. Everett Jenkins was your typical jock/player. And he liked it that way. Using girls, that was what he was good at. But when a mysterious new girl shows up, and he begins to unravel all of her secrets, is she just another conquest, or something more?
