Jack and Alice are best friends. They have known each other since secondary school. Alice certainly isn't one of those shy, quiet girls. No, she is loud, strong headed and speaks her mind. Although she isn't one of the most reserved girls you would ever meet, she, like many, still believes in true love and that her prince is out there - much to Jack's amusement.

Jack, like Alice is a strong willed person, loud, direct and honest. Their personalities are so alike and it's a wonder how they don't clash. But unlike Alice, he hates the idea of being tied down to just one person - why have one when you could go out every night and get a new one? It's better to live your life as a player than as a boyfriend or husband...Right?
Even the thought of true love is hilarious. Let's be honest, it doesn't even exist...Right?

Wrong.

When Jack meets Gabriella, his whole player lifestyle is turned upside down as he tries his hardest to get her attention. He feels a totally different attraction to her, he doesn't want to just use her, he wants to keep her, he actually wants to be labelled the title of being a 'boyfriend', of being her boyfriend.

So when Jack realises that his whole player reputation is what is driving Gabriella away, he requests the help of his best friend Alice to help him change and to help him prove himself worthy of Gabriella's love and attention.

But along the way, his love, focus and attraction gets mixed up and now he doesn't even know which girl it is that he truly loves and which girl he wants to prove his worthiness to. How will he decide...but when he does make his decision, is it too late? Has he pushed the one girl he's ever truly loved too far?

Let's face it, someone's going to get their heart broken...question is, who will it be?

19 parts Complete Mature
It started off with two best friends: Alice and Christie. They say that opposites attract and that was the only way to describe their friendship. Alice was clever, Christie... not so much. Christie was fashionable, whereas Alice wore skirts and knitted V-neck sweaters. Alice was small, Christie was tall. Alice was a normal beauty, Christie was an exotic beauty. You can see that they really are opposite. Too opposite. One thing that you should do: misters before sisters. But Christie and Alice never heard the phrase ever, as they let one boy come between them: Daniel, who was Christie's other best friend. As they both chase for the boy, only one becomes successful and the whole friendship is ruined. With pranks, spying, lies, boys and secrets, the girls really can't go back to best friends. And they drift away further as Matthew, Christie's ex who she still likes, enters the picture. You'd expect it to be a happy ending with Christie and Matthew getting back together right? Wrong. With Daniel chasing after Christie, he realises that Alice and Matt are distractions. So he creates the perfect plan that'll stop the two ex lovers to ever cross paths. But can Alice and Christie both get their happy endings? Maybe they'll have to put the enemy thing beside and work together. Maybe they still could be best friends. Okay, so maybe not best friends. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my first ever book so don't judge. I'm not changing it because it's my first. Dedicated to my gals who've been by my side when I went through a similar journey. Love you guys!!!! Also dedicated to the girl who Alice is based about. She gets on my freaking nerves, but still. Without her this book may not have even got here. Clover Xx

Jack spits. ♔ When Scarlett moved off to college, she hoped to start anew and find her way in this world alone. Two problems.

Aren't one sided crushes fun? NOT! 18 year old Melody Jenkins has spent the last 3 years of high school crushing on one guy, Jake Kensington, who sees her as no more than a sister from another mister and best friend. Not wanting to risk their friendship, Melody has kept her crush a secret and her emotions in check whenever she's around him... which is daily since they live on the same property. It's her senior year and she has made it through the past three years of high school with little social psychological trauma. That's excellent considering she goes to a school in Los Angeles where the majority of the bored students graduating will have executive paying jobs the moment they walk across stage. If all goes well, she will graduate as the valedictorian with multiple offers from colleges on the East Coast, far away from California. But when the health teacher announces a "special" project that requires students to be paired and live under the same roof for one week, Melody's world gets completely turned upside down.

One night of catching a glimpse of the softer side of Kyle Warner, the school's most popular and arrogant quarterback, has her heart pounding and her stomach doing flip-flops. But when Melody shows an ounce of affection toward Kyle, Jake discovers feelings of his own as he tries to protect his best friend from the guy he knows Kyle can be. As the project comes to an end, Melody goes to homecoming... will it be a night to remember, forget or both? Be advised, this contemporary Teen / Young Adult Romance story has some strong language and strong sexual connotation.

Dear Olive, I hate you. I hate that you were born and that your human and have a face. I hate that you live next door to me and I hate that I can't sleep at night because the thought of you has forever left a vivid image creased in the back of my mind. And most of all, I hate that you hate me. Hate, Everest Since the first grade when Olivia Kingston and her family moved in right across the street from Kyle Everest, he had believed to have instantly hated her. (At least thats how he tells the story) And maybe it was just because of the mere fact of her existence, or maybe it was that time she ate the last fruit snack at lunch, or let's not forget, in fifth grade she stole his partner in crime, being his twin sister Madeline. Now being 17 years old Kyle Everest still holds this unknown resentment against his next door neighbor Olivia Kingston, and torches her in any possible way he can, but what would happen when Olivia finally gets sick of letting Kyle torcher her unexplainably? Everything would change in the matter of one day when Olivia accidentally gets them both locked in the principals office in search of the same thing: The truth. But while staying together in a cramped room with no phones and surviving off nothing but the secret stash of their principal, while the entire schools is off on spring break, secrets will be told and feeling will unravel. And let's not forget, hate letters will be sent. This book may seem light and fun but it has some mature scenes and dark thoughts that I'd suggest for viewers 16+
