Love is a crock of shit according to Maeve Caro. She is a workaholic who puts her ambitions before her 'love life'. She doesn't understand how people could throw the word 'love' around so loosely. In the past, she dealt with a confusing friendship that made her almost believe love was real until an incident on graduation night.
Oakley Kent is a brooding musician who wants nothing more to finally hit the big time with his punk band in New Orleans. He isn't much of a lover or man whore type, but he doesn't understand the real feeling of love. He had a feeling when he was younger and considered something as attraction toward a sassy brunette, but his mistake caused a tear in their friendship.
What happens when they are reunited one summer? Will they continue to hate each other? Will the tensions be high? Will they rekindle their friendship or make it something more?

Good Christian Boy
[Formerly titled Ice Cold Eyes] Phil Stevens is pretty sure that his life is how he wants it to be. He's got great friends, he's in a band, he does pretty well at school, and his family are great, if a bit over-protective. He might be hiding the great big whacking secret that he's gay, but his twin sister Tammy knows and loves him anyway. He's Christian, but he's not worried that God will particularly mind that he likes boys. He is, however, a bit worried that his parents will mind. Phil's got his plan; once he moves away from his parents and his religious community, he can come out at a safe distance and hope the dust settles swiftly. But a chance meeting with a guy from another school throws a major spanner in the works. Paul is funny, kind, talented, and openly gay. And he's interested in Phil. Phil never thought he'd want to risk everything for a boy, but Paul isn't the kind of guy who wants to go back in the closet. Tammy, along with Jason, Dave, and Lily, want to support Phil to be the happiest he could possibly be, queer or not, but can Phil handle the complications that come with liking a boy? Join Phil in this coming-of-age love story as he navigates friendship dramas, underage drinking at messy house parties, balancing religion and queerness, and finding family along the way.

The Next Door Neighbour
All's fair in love and babysitting. • • • Shailene Avery is hated by one person, and one person only: Brayden Ferguson Fields. Saturated in sarcasm and edgy teenage angst, Brayden is the one person Shailene cannot understand, like, or even pretend to get along with. And no matter how nice she is to him at their frequent neighbourly get-togethers, or as they stand awkwardly at the bus stop in the mornings, or during the countless nights of having to babysit their younger siblings together ("because double date night" is the lacklustre reason given by her parents), she still cannot get through to him. Because he hates her. And that is that. Brayden Fields has 99 problems, and his pain-in-the-ass neighbour is one of them. Shailene Rose Avery is loved by everyone for reasons Brayden can't even try to understand. Her incessant chattering and fruitless attempts at friendship give him a migraine, and he only ever talks to her when he absolutely has to. Honestly, if he had to choose between being poisoned by anthrax or spending an entire day with her - well, let's just say he'd have a hard time deciding. They avoid each other as much as possible, because - let's be honest - it's better that way. But what happens when they don't get a say? What happens when fate decides to throw them together over and over again? What happens when they learn there's more to a book than just the cover? | does this have a plot??? who even knows. also idk why it says completed April 2020, I finished this book in 2017 lol | highest rank - #107 babysit #75 thirdpersonComplete

Oh, and the fact that Archer is notorious for his player tendencies and cannot be trusted. Can she wear her heart on her sleeve even if it's only for a week? ----- "You've had sex in a car, haven't you?" "I've had sex pretty much everywhere, baby." "Ew, gross." "Why do you think so? Actually doing it in the park isn't-" "I wasn't talking about this, I just really hate pet names. I cringe so hard every time a couple overuses a certain word, thinking it's romantic. It's not! Why is this even a thing?" "Wow, I never thought someone could be this cute while pulling a mom rant." "Shut up." I scrunch up my nose as if I'm offended but my cheeks redden nonetheless. "Okay, baby." ----- PG13: curse words, sexual jokes and innuendos, descriptive kissing scenes This book is planned to be short, sweet and easy to read! I dedicate it to all of my hopeless romantics out there :)Complete
