"A sweet and funny love letter to romantic comedies.... Perfect for anyone who wishes their life had a film-worthy soundtrack, a quirky wardrobe, and a memorable meet-cute,"-Kerry Winfrey, author of Waiting for Tom Hanks
LIZ BUXBAUM HAS ALWAYS KNOWN
that Wes Bennett was not boyfriend material You would think that her next-door neighbor would be a prime candidate for her romantic comedy fantasies, but Wes has only proven himself to be a pain in the butt, ever since they were little. Wes was the kid who put a frog in her Barbie Dreamhouse, the monster who hid a lawn gnome's severed head in her little homemade neighborhood book exchange.
Flash forward ten years from the Great Gnome Decapitation. It's Liz's senior year, a time meant to be rife with milestones perfect for any big screen, and she needs Wes's help. See, Liz's forever crush, Michael, has just moved back to town, and-horribly, annoyingly-he's hitting it off with Wes, Meaning that if Liz wants Michael to finally notice her, and hopefully be her prom date, she needs Wes. He's her in.
But as Liz and Wes scheme to get Liz her magical prom moment, she's shocked to discover that she actually likes being around Wes. And as they continue to grow closer, she must reexamine everything she thought she knew about love-and rethink her own perception of what Happily Ever After should really look like.

β¬ πππ π»ππ£π οΌ πππππ₯ πππ£πππ€ β¬ There is a crucial moment in one's life that determines the outcome of everything; well, as books and movies would have you believe. But Monica McCaslin didn't think she would ever be one of those people, would ever have one of those moments. Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included. What she did not expect was to meet a dark-haired stranger sitting all alone on a park bench, at that very same school she was to attend with said future husband. After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all. Free of expectation and a future that she thought was set in stone, she begins to find the woman she was truly meant to be. State by state, with each border they cross, Monica liberates her true self. πΉπ π π β π π β - βπ ππ‘πππ₯π - β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ This is a work of fiction.

That Geek Is A Trouble
[Completed] Highest rank - #68 in General Fiction (10/07/16) ****** Almost every girl has a story of how she fell in love and how it changed her life.

The only difference is that she fell for a guy who she hated more than mayonnaise. A guy whose face was the first thing she saw every day whether she wanted or not. Whose death she plotted every day in the most gruesome manner. A guy she thought as a devil's spawn. Her own personal hell. He sure did sweep her off her feet, quite literally. And of course, whose heart won't race a thousand miles per second when she is hanged upside down from a bridge. And boy did he changed her life. From a simple quiet day that she was habituated to, she was pulled into swirling tornado of masked men, guns, secrets, conspiracy and of course, love.Complete

Perfect Fate β (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.

Baby,it's you
Claire Reynolds had a plan-focus on her career, avoid unnecessary responsibilities, and absolutely not become a parent. But when her best friend Megan ditches the country for a spontaneous Bali getaway with her yoga instructor boyfriend, Claire finds herself the temporary (probably?) guardian of baby Sophie. Determined to keep her life from spiraling into total chaos, Claire enlists the help of her annoyingly handsome (and infuriatingly competent) neighbor, Jake-who, as it turns out, is a pediatric nurse and way too smug about it. Jake offers to help her navigate the wild world of baby wipes, nap schedules, and the horror of assembling a stroller... in exchange for Claire owing him big time. As Claire stumbles through late-night feedings and surprise diaper explosions, she starts to realize two things: 1) Jake might be the most frustratingly perfect guy she's ever met, and 2) maybe, just maybe, she's not as bad at this whole "baby thing" as she thought. Between sleepless nights, unexpected feelings, and one very persistent baby who seems determined to bring them together, Claire has to figure out if she's ready for a new kind of plan-one that might just include love, family, and a whole lot of baby spit-up.Complete
