The Boy Next Door

Once upon a time, smartphones were not essential, and wifi did not exist.
Can you imagine what you could do with your time without endless video scrolling?
You, yes you, the one with this book in your hand. You look perfect for the task. A task that Regina George wannabes Lauren and Sophie couldn't do.
Ashley needs friends. The ones who love her for being herself, and you seem perfect for the job. But not now. We are taking an adventure and heading back to 2004.

Relive the days when teenagers stayed out until the streetlamps turned on. When music was great, fashion changed daily, and life was simple. I said simple, not easy.

Never been kissed, sixteen-year-old Ashley Prince wants to be popular like her friends. Well, she thought she did. So much so that she lost her identity in doing what she was told by Regina George wannabes and her overbearing parents.
Constantly babysitting and never having fun, missing out on all those truths, dares, and spin-the-bottle games.
But then Olly moves in next door.
It isn't until her eyes set on him that her heart sets on fire, and sparks fly when they cross paths. He is like no one she has met before, not only handsome but kind. And with a new friend like that, her confidence soars.
Meeting Olly not only saves her life but changes it forever. But is he so perfect?
Kyle has something to say about that. Who's Kyle
Well, there has to be a villain, doesn't there? Is it him? The badass, moody skater boy? Or is it the bullies, her parents, or somebody else?
Grab your flares, skateboard, boombox, and alcopops and walk the streets till dusk, roam the school grounds, party and break a few rules along the way.
Can Ashley break free and discover that there is more to popularity and find her true self? Let's find out how Ashley's summer turns out with the boy next door.
