Book Description

After the heart-shattering ending of her first serious relationship, eighteen-year-old Sophie has sworn off love. Now that school is behind her, she plans to travel the world and form as few attachments as possible. The only exception: Lex, the artist on the other end of the Internet who chats to her almost every day. A guy she can never lose--since she doesn't actually have him to begin with.

Sophie's plan can start as soon as she's faked her way through her sister's wedding. Pretending to be happy and excited for the next week or two should be easy, right? But that was before Caleb walked onto the scene ... Best man to Sophie's almost-brother-in-law, Caleb is infuriatingly friendly and determined to get a real smile out of Sophie. Forced together through dance classes and wedding-related disasters, Sophie is determined not to like him. And terrified when she ends up failing.

Then Lex suggests he and Sophie should meet, and all Sophie's careful plans for the future begin to unravel. Now the girl who was never meant to fall for anyone must figure out what to do with the two guys tugging at her heart.

Book Review

I think this series is a brilliant one. It deals with a host of issues that teens face and brings up solutions which one would not have though of. Sophie is happy for her sister and the wedding is taking up a great deal of everyone's time and effort. Unfortunately Sophie is not in the mood for celebrating life, the reason is revealed in the book. She's feeling too guilty to live, except online with a friend who is as talented an artist as she is. Then Caleb shows up for the wedding as the Best Man and refuses to be put off by her attitude. He's found out her secret and loves it, but will she forgive him when he reveals his own?

Book Description

Andi’s been in love with the boy next door for years. She’s convinced Damien’s the perfect guy for her. So it’s probably nota good idea to pretend to be his girlfriend to help him snag the attention of someone else. But Andi knows it won’t be for long. Soon enough, Damien will figure out he loves her too, and their fake relationship will become a real one. 

Damien’s best friend Noah is the complete opposite of Mr Perfect: rude and annoying, with trouble-maker written all over him. Definitely not Andi’s type. Which makes it all the more confusing when she realises how much she likes spending time with him.

When the fake relationship plan starts working, Andi should be overjoyed. It’s what she wanted, right? Except … what if perfect isn’t so perfect after all? What if messy, imperfect, and real are exactly what she needs?

Book Review


The series continues with Andi's story. The step sister. Apparently she was Damien's neighbour. They have been close friends and she has had a crush on him forever. What she wishes is for him to see her as an attractive woman instead of a little girl. She can't be happier when it begins to happen. What she does not anticipate is Noah, and how despite being so very different from her, he is just right for her. Another sweet read filled with teenage angst and some surprises along the way.

For Livi Howard, high school sucked. Orchestra Geek, Choir Monkey, The Ginger … and the labels didn’t end there. But high school is behind her now, and fabulous university life is ahead. Let Project ‘Ditch the Nerd’ begin! 

Adam Anderson is a nerd and proud of it. His university plans include computer studies, Xbox marathons, and reruns of his favourite sci-fi TV shows. Watching his best friend Livi transform herself into a person he barely recognises was never on the list.

With Project ‘Ditch the Nerd’ a success, Livi thinks she finally has it all—except for the part where she’s growing further and further away from Adam. When a party goes south, Livi is forced to reconsider the lengths she’ll go to be accepted by the ‘right’ people. How far is too far? And will she ever be able to find her way back to herself—and to the guy who’s been in front of her all along?

Book Review

This book is the second in the series but can easily work as a stand alone. It's Sarah's friend Livi's book. Livi is on a mission to lose the nerd status that plagued her in high school when she goes to college. Adam is trying to explain to her that she doesn't need to change herself and forget about her old hobbies like playing the violin. 

Of course things get even more messy when Adam breaks up with long distance and long time girl friend Jenna. Can Livi forget her need to be with the in crowd long enough to actually be there for her best friend when he needs her? Of course she can deal with that.


What she and Adam both didn't count on dealing with is their crazy attraction to each other...Now the question is, will they act on it? Or do they prefer to be in the friend zone forever?

Book Description


Sarah doesn’t talk to strangers. It’s awkward, stressful, and there’s the uncontrollable blushing to worry about. When she boards a plane to fly home after an overseas holiday, she plans to stick her nose in a book and ignore everyone around her.

Aiden’s terrified of flying, and it’s his first time on a plane. If he can distract himself by talking non-stop for the entire flight, he will. Too bad for Sarah he’s sitting right next to her.

Against all Sarah’s expectations, she ends up enjoying Aiden’s company. They laugh, argue, concoct stories about other passengers, and accidentally hold hands during the turbulence. When the time comes to say goodbye, Sarah can’t help the crazy thought that she shouldn’t let Aiden go. 

Then he kisses her.

And then he’s gone.

With her world turning upside down in more ways than one, Sarah has to make a decision: stick with the safe, predictable life that’s been mapped out for her, or find the courage to go after what she truly wants.

Book Review

I really enjoyed reading this young adult book. Most of us have irrational fears and the author gives both her main characters fears that we can identify with. She then proceeds to blend in a romance and real life complications so beautifully in the story. It was fun reading about South African cultural references. The story has universal appeal and is the sort of thing that could happen to anyone. There was also the underlying lesson that if you wake up and work for what you want, you can definitely have it
