Daphne Monroe believed her life had taken a turn for the worst when her mother passed away three years ago. But she was wrong, as nothing could have prepared her for her father's mad decision to buy a run down old pub in some seaside village an hour or so from London, taking her younger brother and their crazy Granddad Tony who still believes he is in the war, though Daphne has no idea which one, and Daphne away from their childhood home and changing her life forever. Daphne also suddenly finds herself attending an elite boarding school as a day timer, courtesy of the maternal grandparents she has never met.
There she meets Eddie, Fiona, Alex and Jade, four teenagers who will quickly become her closest friends and her guides to the world she had found herself fallen into. A world where house parties are held in country manors, teachers all have pompous public school nicknames and the students have helicopters to run them around at the weekends. It's a world where Princes and royalty are not just main figures in tabloids and imagination, but actual students alongside Daphne and her friends. And there is one in particular who has caught the eye of Daphne Monroe, Prince Théo from the year above. Swoon worthy, indeed.
Follow Daphne's journey in this bare-all novella told through her personal minute-by minute-diary, her very thought process, with no holds barred in regards to humour, emotion, friendship and love as she tries to navigate this new world in front of her.

Popular party girl and high school senior Jessica Stone has a secret: she used to be a nerd - a big one; a goody two-shoes, grade-skipping, all-state spelling bee champ. But she lost the braces, put on some contacts, and applied all her academic genius to studying and imitating the social elite. Now she rules the school from the upper echelon of the high school realm. With her cool new friends and hottest-guy-in-school boyfriend, life's a beach - and that's where she's headed for Spring Break. That is, until her teacher breaks the bad news that she's failing Biology - and her only chance to make up the grade is to throw away the culminating trip of her hard-earned popularity and join the Conservation Club in Panama to save the Golden Frog. Unable to let go of her faded college dreams, Jess finds herself in a foreign country with a new social crew, and one handsome face that stands out as a blast from the past, threatening to ruin her queen bee reputation. Travis Henley may have grown up, but he still likes to play childish games and as payment for retrieving Jess' lost ring from the bottom of a jungle pool, he wants three dates. While Jess does battle with spiders, snakes, wildfires and smart mean girls, she desperately tries to hang on to the last vestiges of her popular existence like the Golden Frog from its webbed toe.

Your Perfect Girl
"𝑁𝑜 𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒 𝑚𝑒 𝑖𝑓 𝐼'𝑚 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑓𝑒𝑐𝑡." Daphne Calbot had everything a high school girl could want. Gorgeous, rich, popular, she's the girl everyone envies! Except, of course, maybe Daphne herself. Kane Hopkins, on the other hand, is Summerset's resident robot. As student council president and valedictorian, Kane is all crisp shirts and cold stares. He lives by his color-coded schedules and has exactly zero patience for cheerleaders who think glitter cannons are a good idea. To him, Daphne is pure chaos. To her, Kane is allergic to fun. So naturally, when they're forced to co-plan the biggest pep rally of the year, things get... messy. Between flying pom-poms, glitter debates, and one very dramatic fall from the cheer pyramid (which Kane may or may not have caught her from like a rom-com hero), these two opposites can't seem to stay away from each other. And the more time they spend together, the more Daphne realizes Kane isn't just a robot-he's the only person who sees past her perfect mask. And for Kane? Daphne might be the only chaos he's willing to let into his perfectly controlled world. But with past traumas, pushy quarterbacks, and a whole school watching their every move, can the golden girl and the boy genius figure out their feelings before it's too late?

He's smirking down at me as he says, "Um, you're in my seat." I laugh and say, "You realize that is the most cliche thing you could possibly say?" He looks confused so I elaborate. "It's the first day of school and you're coming up the new girl, claiming I'm in your seat. Sorry, but it's not very original." He huffs and rolls his eyes. "Get out of my seat, sunshine." "Watch it happen, pretty boy." I reply, smirking as I stuff my other earbud back in. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Madeline Lace is the youngest of six, the older five being all brothers. Her brothers love her, but due to their pathetic excuse for a father, their overprotective nature spirals into straight up helicopter parenting. Getting a fresh start by moving away from the bad memories, they're bound to run into a few new problems. One of which being their cocky, self-assured next door neighbor who isn't too discreet about taking an obvious liking towards Maddie. Her hope that he'd give up and leave her alone diminishes when his dorky personality starts to shine through, growing on her. The easy option would be to ignore the obvious attraction, but then again, it's hard to deny the undeniable. -------------------------- thank you to @meha-k for this amazing cover!Cerita Lengkap
Her Safe Haven
"For him, she was adrenaline." . . . Winter McHalen seemed to have everything: parents who owned a multi-billion dollar company, two handsome brothers who just happened to get the loving-brothers genes, and a ridiculously beautiful look. One summer afternoon, however, a six-year-old Winter was kidnapped by her father's former rival and was traumatised into being mute. Ten years later, the current sixteen-year-old Winter still struggled to come to terms with her dark past. When she crossed path with the mysterious Rohan Garrison: heir to neighbouring international corporation, student council president, and a perfect gentleman who seemed to be harbouring much more secrets behind his stoic facade; the two kept finding themselves tumbling into each other's lives - with or without their own wills. He was aloof yet affable, she was bold yet reserved; he was neither a protector nor predator, she was neither a badass nor damsel-in-distress; but they were two qualities - both coexisting at the same time and were unpredictable variables in each other's lives. And they both didn't know whether to like or despise it. Watch Winter as she journeyed into adulthood and tried to get back the voice which she lost. With both existing as naturally opposing forces, could Rohan - with the help of her family, friends, and possibly other love interests - save Winter from her past, or will she be trapped forever in her affliction? {Highest: #1 in Young Adult #1 in General Fiction #5 in New Adult #226 in Teen Fiction 28/12/2019} *images used are not mineCerita Lengkap
