Good Girls | Audrey Porter is a "good girl": a good student, a great daughter, an amazing friend. She’s also the last person anyone expects to be hanging out with Luke DeSalvio, the hottest guy at Audrey’s school. But Luke is a liar, a player, a dream, and Audrey knows it. She dumps him at her friend’s Halloween party with no intention of looking back, but not before giving him one last goodbye gift…
The next Monday, messages begin popping up on people’s phones and email inboxes. Somebody has taken a picture of her and Luke together and soon everyone knows, including her teachers, her mum and her dad… Now she must discover strength she never knew he had, find friends where she didn’t think she would, and learn that life goes on – no matter how different it is to how you think it’s going to be.
I’m Not Julia Roberts | Does every second wife look like Julia Roberts? Lu Klein certainly doesn’t, and her life is anything but glamorous. When she married a man with children, Lu had no idea that she was also marrying his shrewish ex-wife, Beatrix. And Beatrix had no idea that making a new home with her second husband would mean welcoming her wicked teenage stepdaughter, Liv. And Liv’s mother Roxie had no idea that so many new and exciting boyfriends could make her long for the stable life she and her ex had too eagerly left behind.
In this tightly interconnected collection of ten short stories, author Laura Ruby chronicles the progress of Lu, Beatrix, Roxie and their various steps and exes as they take the perilous plunge into the maelstrom of the so-called "blended family." Both ruefully funny and wickedly insightful, I AM NOT JULIA ROBERTS offers finely-observed, honest and affecting takes on kids, step-kids, divorce, remarriage…and the movie Stepmom.
Lily’s Ghosts | Lily is Furious. She can’t believe she has to move again after her mom’s break-up with the latest boyfriend. Now they’re broke and they’ll have to spend the winter in Uncle Wes’s creepy summerhouse in Cape May, New Jersey.
And the place is crawling with ghosts. From the spiteful teenager who mistakes Lily for her high school nemesis to the restless spirit of her eccentric Uncle Max, Lily is haunted by a host of unhappy phantoms. But why are they here? And what do they want?
With the help of some mysterious clues, Lily and her new friend, local boy Vaz, uncover a sinister plot. If they don’t foil the villainous plan in time, they may end up doing some eternal haunting of their own.
Play Me | Eddy knows how to play the game. He is, after all, the writer, director, and cameraman—the mastermind, really—behind the hit online TV show Riot Grrl 16 . When it wins a contest to be aired on MTV (and it obviously will—have you seen the competition?), he’ll be famous. Then there’s the game of love. Eddy knows all the tricks, and his favorite girls are the ones with the fishnets and cherry lipstick and legs up to there. The ones who know he doesn’t make any promises. The ones who are cool with it. But as graduation looms, everything and everyone starts deviating from Eddy’s master script. Never in a million years did he expect to be facing off again with the unapproachable, perfect Lucinda Dulko. For once in his life, he’s not in control—and to be with Lucinda, he’s willing to get swept up in the game. But what happens to a player when the rules suddenly change? Can Eddy find a way to win it all? Or will he get played?
