Download or read book The Best Laid Plans written by Cameron Lund and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-02-02 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High school senior Keely Collins takes on firsts, lasts, and everything in between in this sweet, sex-positive rom-com for fans of Meg Cabot and Jenny Han. It seemed like a good plan at first. When the only other virgin in her group of friends loses it at Keely's own eighteenth birthday party, she's inspired to take things into her own hands. She wants to have that experience too (well, not exactly like that--but with someone she trusts and actually likes), so she's going to need to find the guy, and fast. Problem is, she's known all the boys in her small high school forever, and it's kinda hard to be into a guy when you watched him eat crayons in kindergarten. So she can't believe her luck when she meets a ridiculously hot new guy named Dean. Not only does he look like he's fallen out of a classic movie poster, but he drives a motorcycle, flirts with ease, and might actually be into her. But Dean's already in college, and Keely is convinced he'll drop her if he finds out how inexperienced she is. That's when she talks herself into a new plan: her lifelong best friend, Andrew, would never hurt or betray her, and he's clearly been with enough girls that he can show her the ropes before she goes all the way with Dean. Of course, the plan only works if Andrew and Keely stay friends--just friends--so things are about to get complicated. Cameron Lund's delightful debut is a hilarious and heartfelt story of first loves, first friends, and first times--and how making them your own is all that really matters.

Download or read book I Used to Be written by Mary Brown and published by Fantastic Books Publishing. This book was released on with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reclusive Maude, in her tattered and not-so-clean clothes from Oxfam, exists on the margins of society where she is seen – by those who notice her at all – as an eccentric old woman best avoided. While out searching for the elderly cat that is her only companion, Maude encounters Kayleigh’s Krew, a gang of teenage girls, who routinely bunk off school to spend their time on a triangle of waste ground they call the Tip. To Maude they look frightening; loud, confident, dressed in garish colours, but she makes the first approach, maybe in desperation for her lost cat, but maybe also recognising others at the margins of society. The story is one of terrible sadness but also hope. Mary Brown depicts the lives of two women who seem poles apart and yet are drawn together. She takes us inside their heads and their lives. It’s an incredibly well-observed story of Kayleigh’s teenage despair hidden behind a brash exterior; her adolescent highs and lows against which Maude’s story gradually unfolds and we see the grief and worry she has held on to for so long that it has become a prison from which she sees no escape.

If they can't confront their father's past and fix their relationship, Olly and Alex each risk losing two siblings forever.

This book was released on 2016-11-19 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reality, what a concept. Is life a puppet show and are we nothing but puppets?

Through the ages, the conundrum of Reality has messed with the collective consciousness of humanity. The Allegory of Plato's Cave down through the ages to The Matrix.
