Waiting for Everest ✓
Camille Settlemeyer's life revolves around two great natural wonders: Mount Everest, the highest point on Earth, and Matt Everest, the boy she's been in love with ever since they met at rock climbing camp five years ago. She might have to wait a few more years before her parents let her fly off to Nepal to scale the world's tallest summit, but this summer Camille's going to hit the road with Matt for one last climbing expedition before they part ways for college. Camille is convinced that a couple days alone with Matt in a beat-up van will make him realize they're destined to be together. What she doesn't account for is Matt bringing along his best friend from climbing camp, Tucker O'Hara, who possess an encyclopedic knowledge of the constellations and a sense of humor drier than the sprawling Arizona desert. Camille doesn't like how much of a know-it-all Tuck is, or how his gorgeous older sister seems to steal every last bit of Matt's attention. But Camille's about to learn that even the best climbers need a compass sometimes. (Commission for Wattpad's promotion of the film "The Best of Me")Complete

Field Guide to Not Kissing Ethan - Friendly Dating - Kira
Kira has a system. It involves observation, data collection, and very clear rules, especially Rule #1: Do not let Ethan Fletcher get too close. Which shouldn't be a problem. Ethan is loud, chaotic, and deeply committed to being the most annoying person in her life. He climbs things he shouldn't climb, says things he shouldn't say, and does things he shouldn't do. Now, for reasons that are still unclear, he has a project he swears only Kira can help him with. There's a spreadsheet. There are rules. There are objectives. (There are also several suspicious attempts to add "kissing" to all of them.) Kira is determined to keep things under control. Friendly. Logical. Safe. Because Ethan is... well, Ethan. The guy next door. Her best friend's brother. The son her father never had. Practically family. Definitely not someone she wants to kiss. Right?
