Life, Love, and Surviving High School
Becca hasn't been on the same page as her best friends since just before the start of middle school and she doesn't know exactly how things got so different. Not different in some edgy, gritty, she's-a-rebel way. More of a Yes-she's-a-dork way. Which makes it all the more amazing that while other friendships have crashed and burned all around them the four girls have managed to stay Best Friends Forever. She doesn't need to share in her friends' spotlight. Becca's happy to follow along in the shadows, as long as she's not totally cast aside.She definitely not ready for guys. In fact, she just wants to skip right over high school and jump straight to twenty-two. By then she figures she will have gotten through her first date, first kiss, passed her driver's test, taken the SATs, filled out all those college applications, somehow survived living in a dorm and gotten her college degree without all the anxiety and drama.Instead, just after silently deciding to not even think about guys and concentrate on school work for the next four years, she is instantly mesmerized by Brent, a seriously great-looking senior who also happens to have a long-time girlfriend, Claire. Not one to be the "other woman," Becca imagines creative ways for Claire to be out of Brent's life. Meanwhile, Becca forms a strictly friends-only relationship with Colt, who she first thinks of as "Farmboy." Becca and Colt turn out be good partners when it comes to studying, taking pictures for the school newspaper and working on a term paper together. But when one day Claire makes an offer about Brent that Becca can't resist, that changes everything.

Profile Picture

High School. Drama, Dates, and Friends are what it is all about. Becca is a ordinary girl freshman who wants to get the attention of a senior, Brent; the only problem is he is taken. She is sure that they are meant together, but realizes that there are better things she will encounter. What will happen when her crush's girlfriend makes an offer she can't refuse...? I would recommend this book to high school girls who love romance books. This is a realistic scenario that can help girls get through those crazy high school years filled with boys and besties!!

Becca tries to come up with sneaky ways to break the two of them up, but what happens when Claire makes an offer with Becca that she can't resist?
