Jocelin Himmel hates a lot of things. Like orange, sticky weather, her little sister Sareh, her dad's constant working, the way George Reggie walks, and just about anything else for that matter. She is a complainer, but she also has a sweet side that tends to slip out when her bestfriend/hippy Marza is around. These two must conquer summer. That includes, playing basketball with the boys, biking around the park, getting in trouble, falling in love (sort of), getting Curtis to dance, successfully pissing off the neighbors, and lots of sweets. The taste of sour has never been sweeter.

Love you always
Book One of the Love You Series - Standalone. Sometimes the heart wants what logic swears is off-limits. Kyle Carter. By definition? My brother's best friend. To everyone else? Confident. Charismatic. The human version of sunshine. He walks into a room and people gravitate toward him-like he knows exactly who he is and where he's going. But behind the easy smiles and effortless charm is someone quieter, softer... someone who wants to be seen. Really seen. By one person alone. When you're part of the same friend group, running into each other is inevitable. Daily, even. Bickering became our version of talking, teasing became our shared language. But it's dangerous-the kind of dangerous where you start noticing just how beautiful someone is, and wondering how it's even fair to exist next to them. And feelings? They show up like a tidal wave I can't stop, no matter how many times I tell myself not to fall. Because Kyle Carter is off-limits. And I should know better. Ivy Kingston. Definition? My best friend's sister. The one girl who knows exactly how to push my buttons-and enjoys doing it. She's bold, reckless, and says things that get under my skin and stay there. She's trouble in the form of witty comebacks and the most intoxicating smile I've ever seen. She's not the little girl I used to tease anymore. She's... something else entirely. And it scares the hell out of me how much I want her. Feelings weren't supposed to be part of the equation-but here they are, crashing through every line I've drawn. And no matter how much I try to stay away, she pulls me in like gravity. They say if it's meant to be, it'll find a way. But there's always a but, isn't there? The truth is, I don't know if I'll ever get my happy ending. Hell, she is my happy ending. And I need her. More than anything.
