Most seventeen year olds don't have bucket lists. Katie O'Connell does--a Wish List actually. Because she longs to be someone new, the kind of girl you take notice of and remember. Someone who isn't just a part of the background.
Unfortunately, Katie has no idea how to make that happen, but her outspoken best friend does: a Junior Year Wish List of goals, starting with earning a role in the senior play, and bookish Katie reluctantly agrees. Now she has barely ten months to meet all five goals that will transform her from a bookworm to a butterfly.
Wish List in hand, Katie draws her motley crew of dramatic friends closer for support to launch her Junior Year with a fresh (somewhat anxious) attitude. Until the boy who was her first childhood friend, the boy who disappeared right before her tenth birthday, shows up on the first day of school pulling her quiet life into an emotional tailspin.
His reappearance will start Katie's junior year with more questions than answers. Why did he leave? Where has he been all this time? Can friendships last after a seven-year break? Is achieving her Wish List possible now? Most importantly, will he be the one to make Wish Number Five a reality?
This YA will appeal to fans of both Cora Carmack's LOSING IT, experiencing the emotionally-charged roller coaster that is the drama of high school (not just in the theater department), and also Meg Cabot's HOW TO BE POPULAR, for realistic teen situations that aren't centered around tragedy, paranormal, or the supernatural.
**I made my this, my debut YA novel, FREE in June 2015 to celebrate its 2 year birthday! I will leave it for free, forever. You can download the complete novel for free at Amazon, Apple, Smashwords, Kobo, and Barnes and Noble! Spread the word!**
!!New Life, New lessons!!
"Growth and comfort do not coexist"
Katie Buffett got mollycoddled her entire life. Blessed with dotting rich parents, an ardent friend who she cherished more than her life. She got everything she ever asked for but never took advantage of that reality. Straight B-student with her life goals already fixed up.
Even in High school, she got that aura that people wants to be her friend but were scared of the trouble which tags along with that friendship. Some call her a spoiled brat, some troublemaker, or some delinquent and the list goes on, but she is just a teen living her life to the fullest.
But what will happen when she will be asked to leave her already planned out life and thrown into complete mayhem where she will have to start from square one. BOOM!!
Well, life, my friend is one hell of a player. So, why don't you guys join Katie on her journey to see where it will lead her; most probably to new troubles and experiences, but in the last, it will be just remarkable and worth it.
*********************************************
If you guys are bored with the same cliché high schools and want something new, to begin with, so I welcome you all to give a visit to an Indian high school, tsk tsk!! To an Indian school because high school doesn't exist in India.

Y'all in?
So let the journey begin...
