Author: Kasie West Publication: July 2, 2013 By: Harper Teen Genre: YA 4.5 STARS! Amazon | Barnes & Noble   *love the cover* Seventeen-year-old Caymen Meyers studies the rich like her own personal science experiment, and after years of observation she’s pretty sure they’re only good for one thing—spending money on useless stuff, like the porcelain dolls in her mother’s shop. So when Xander Spence walks into the store to pick up a doll for his grandmother, it only takes one glance for Caymen to figure out he’s oozing rich. Despite his charming ways and that he’s one of the first people who actually gets her, she’s smart enough to know his interest won’t last.

And much to her dismay, she's beginning to enjoy his company. She knows her mom can’t find out—she wouldn’t a...
