Even In Paradise by Chelsey Philpot

Author: Chelsey Philpot Publication: October 14, 2014 By: Harper Collins  Amazon | Book Depository | Goodreads  3.75 Stars When Julia Buchanan enrolls at St. Anne’s at the beginning of junior year, Charlotte Ryder already knows all about the former senator’s daughter. Most people do... or think they do. Charlotte certainly never expects she’ll be Julia’s friend. But almost immediately, she is drawn into the larger than-life-new girl’s world—a world of midnight rendezvous, dazzling parties, palatial vacation homes, and fizzy champagne cocktails. And then Charlotte meets, and begins falling for, Julia’s handsome older brother, Sebastian.

Faking Normal by Courtney C. Stevens

Author: Courtney C. Stevens Publication: February 25, 2014 By: Harper Collins Children's Books Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Goodreads 5 Stars! I LOVE this cover! An edgy, realistic, and utterly captivating novel from an exciting new voice in teen fiction. Alexi Littrell hasn't told anyone what happened to her over the summer. Ashamed and embarrassed, she hides in her closet and compulsively scratches the back of her neck, trying to make the outside hurt more than the inside does. When Bodee Lennox, the quiet and awkward boy next door, comes to live with the Littrells, Alexi discovers an unlikely friend in "the Kool-Aid Kid," who has secrets of his own. As they lean on each other for support, Alexi gives him the strength to deal with his past, and Bodee helps her find the courage to finally face the truth. A searing, poignant book, Faking Normal is the extraordinary debut novel from an exciting new author-Courtney C. Stevens. Thank you Harper Col...
