He Loves Me Not 
In the game of love, everyone roots for the underdog. You know, that girl-next-door type who wears glasses and has a shy smile and who falls for the most popular boy in school…she’s the hero of every story. And when the shy girl takes off her glasses and the quarterback kisses her and the crowd roars and the movie fades to black, people sit back and are satisfied.
But what about the cheerleader? The one he dumps at the fifty-yard line and the one who runs off the field humiliated and sobbing? What about her feelings? What about her?
He Loves Me Not tells the story of what happens after the cheerleader is denied her fairy tale ending. Maggie’s life was perfect–she had perfect friends, perfect parents, and a perfect boyfriend. But when she’s abruptly dumped in front of the entire county by that perfect boyfriend, her life falls apart. With her clique, her friends, and her social standing obliterated, Maggie is resigned to a lonely, humiliating senior year of high school.
…at least until she meets AJ Abbott, a musician who breaks every rule her mother ever taught her. He has no college degree. He wants to be a rockstar. He wears entirely too much black and leather.
But despite their differences, Maggie is slowly drawn into AJ’s rock and roll lifestyle, and she’ll be forced to choose which is more important–clinging to her nonexistent popularity or learning that maybe there’s more to her than her beauty queen tiaras and cheerleader pom-poms.

He Loves Me Not is a well written and intriguing story featuring the high school “villain” aka the popular girl. We get to glimpse into the aftermath of what happens when she is left in front of the whole school and town during homecoming at the 50 yard line, when the popular boy found a connection with the nameless girl no one cared about. It is the formula for so many of the movies and shows I have watched and seeing the other side makes you stop and think. This book is not about revenge or falling in love again. It is about a girl who loved and had her heart broken, a girl who attempts to pick up the pieces. I loved watching Maggie struggle through the drama and frustration and the way she persevered. She is determined to make the best of what is happening and learn to find her way again. She is true to herself, both in her emotions and her expectations. One thing I appreciated is that she did not budge on who she was, instead she became self-aware. She learned to see things in a new light and as a result she grows as a person, all the while continuing to embrace her beauty pageant life. So often in books you see a physical and complete emotional transformation of the character and it changes everything about them. In this story, there is self-realization, the only thing she really needs. Her honesty and adorable love for all things Southern is genuine and endearing. Being able to understand her motivations and thought processes allows the reader to understand her true intentions, even if they are sometimes off the mark.
This story is not necessarily a love story. Sure there is adolescent love and hope for that affection being your forever love, but more than that it is about Maggie’s journey and her choice to open her eyes and see things in a new light. I loved how she learns to embrace new things when life doesn’t go her way. Her friendship and affection with AJ is sweet and something solid to add to the story, but never take away from what is happening. The drama and angst of high school life is well developed and the social statuses we read about share the gambit of what the best and worst of the experience could be. This book is a fun and wonderful story people will enjoy!
Looking back, Bobby hadn’t acted that different that day, or even that week. The first weird thing had happened at lunch a few weeks later. Maggie and her friends had been all sitting at their usual table with Tommy, Abby and Artie Souter—identical twins who looked like matching blond supermodels—Caroline, who was her best friend in the world, and a few other assorted football players and cheerleaders.
Lifestyles of the Rich and (In)Famous Nicole “Nyx” Green, notorious for her red lipstick and over-the-top personality, has just snagged the man of her dreams–the brooding Crashbang bassist AJ Abbott. Well, he was the man of her dreams. Now that they’re together, Nyx is realizing that he’s way too obsessed with his music to even think about having a girlfriend.
AJ’s obsession pays off when the band meets with record executives in New York City, and Nyx meets her half-brother Jeremy. Reuniting with long lost family is complicated enough (especially a long lost family who are tabloid staples), but Nyx never expected to meet Tristan.
See, Jeremy happens to be best friends with the gorgeous, arrogant Tristan Halifax, an A-Lister with a penchant for beautiful women. Nyx and Tristan might experience love at first sight, but rock star ex-boyfriends are hard to forget—especially when they keep writing chart topping love songs dedicated to her red lipstick.
Overnight, Nyx becomes America’s Sweetheart—scandalizing parties, frolicking with Manhattan’s Golden Boys, and being hounded by photographers. Sure, it’s fun, but then the press starts turning nasty—jeopardizing her relationship with Tristan, ruining her reputation, and discovering her old skeletons. Plus, there’s AJ, who’s suddenly morphed into a great guy, and now is fighting to reignite their high school romance.
Celebrities are supposed to have it all, right? Money. Looks. Love. But suddenly, a downward spiral doesn’t seem all that unrealistic, and Nyx will have to decide what’s more important–her new infamous lifestyle or her familiar small-town roots.
The long lost Wakefield twin. Blair’s head minion. The BSC party planner. The original Pink Ranger. Stephanie Tanner’s BFF.
