When her father left after the divorce, Mariah lost her sense of family. Now she's lost her special summer, too. Instead of fulfilling her dream to become a writer, Mariah has to help her mother with a a house-sitting job in very rich, very snobby Palm Springs. People with a lot of money make Mariah uncomfortable.
Until she meets Paul Strobe, the rich boy next door. Paul's not a snob and he doesn't act superior. In fact, his sandy hair and piercing blue eyes break down all Mariah's defenses. With Paul, Palm Springs becomes the most romantic place on Earth.
But Paul has to go into the hospital for some tests and then an operation. He's seriously ill and all his family's money can't help him.
Will Mariah lose Paul, too, just when she's found her first love?
This is an excellent book and the perfect title for launching a series.
Frannie is so shy, she thinks she might go all the way through high school without even being kissed, much less finding that one boy who would make her feel special. Then her girlfriends create The Plan, and Frannie has so many boys after her that she can't keep track of all the parties and dances.
Not everyone falls for The Plan, though. Ronnie, the quiet, talented boy in art class, is the boy Frannie wants, the one she's always dreamed of. But since everyone else started paying so much attention, Ronnie seems to be avoiding her. Will Frannie have to give up The Plan and go back into her shell to show Ronnie how much she really cares?
I could not read this book. I am not interested in books where the protagonist is playing a game just to get boys interested.
