Remember Your High School Romance?

i am a hopeless romantic. I want stories that go straight to my heart. i want the unexpected, i need the character to make choices and learn from them and most of all i want to think about the story long after i turn the last page. If this is what you need The Sky is Everywhere is for you.

Mean Girls are Everywhere!

I just finished reading Boys, Girls and other Hazardous Materials by Rosalind Wiseman, author of Queen Bees and Wannabes.

School Library Journal (January 1, 2010)

Gr 8-11-Attempting to avoid vicious, former "frenemies" (and their influence), Charlotte Healey starts her high school career in neighboring Harmony Falls, hoping for a clean slate. Things look promising when she makes friends the first day and awkwardly reunites, after three years, with ex-best friend/boy-next-door-turned-crush Will. Unfortunately, people from Charlie's past keep turning up, like Nidhi, former target of the nasty kids at her old school. Charlie and Nidhi reconcile and score a column in the school paper on the freshman experience. Trying to find romance and their niche in the social hierarchy, Charlie and company survive the familiar highs and lows of high school and friendship in a place where traditions, both exclusionary and dangerous, reign.
