Grades 9-12

Jules McCallister-Morgan is your quintessential over-achiever. She is a senior in high school who dreams about becoming editor of the school newspaper and getting accepted into her first-choice Ivy-league college. She already has the all-important job of being on the welcoming committee and is responsible for showing new students around the school. Jules is stopped in her tracks, however, when the new kid just so happens to be Alex Powell, a super-cute former teen heartthrob. Does she let on that she knows who he is? Does she pretend he wasn’t famous for being in the boy band Chaos 4 All? And, worst of all, does she ignore the fact that she can totally tell he’s into her?





Viv has always been an over-achiever and has a plan to get the perfect grades, the perfect SAT scores, and get into the perfect college. But when she meets a new group of friends at her job at the community pool, she realizes that she can be whoever she wants, because they don’t know anything about her past. She just doesn’t know who that person is yet, but she starts to understand that she is allowed to be less than perfect.
