From the author of The Lake Trilogy, comes a story about what it means to be truly seen...and to be taken just as you are. “You’re not invisible. You’re invaluable.” When Kinley Carmichael looks in the mirror, she doesn’t see her blonde-haired, blue-eyed, size 4 twin sister. She sees her dark-haired, brown-eyed, size 12 self. Kinley and her twin sister Addison are excited to start their second summer as counselors at The Camp at Lake Hollis. All Kinley wants is to earn enough money to meet up with her mother so they travel the world as professional photographers. All Addison wants is to work on her tan, seduce a boy, and build her fashion budget. And while Kinley and Addison couldn’t be more opposite, nothing has ever stopped them from being the best of friends. It’s an especially great summer for Kinley as the official camp photographer with Notre Dame Quarterback Cal Harper showing interest in her. But when artist Miller Conrad arrives and rejects Addison’s advances, showing more interest in Kinley, true colors will shine and the sisters’ bond will be tested. As Kinley and Miller’s connection deepens, Kinley feels like she can truly be herself without the internal scrutiny she’s developed in the shadow of her sister. But when Kinley inadvertently uncovers a terrible secret, Miller is left facing the demons of his own reasons for coming to Lake Hollis. What was supposed to be the greatest summer of Kinley’s life turns out to be more life-changing than she ever imagined. Views: 38

When his grandfather gives him a chance to get out of working in the family business, he agrees to the deal, even though it means embarking on a "kiss quest." His mission is simple... He has to kiss ten girls from his past, and any number of new girls, to see if he can feel anything for once. Whether he finds the "One" or doesn't, as long as he genuinely tries, he can go back to building the tiny houses he loves. Nothing is ever as simple as it seems... Weeks of kissing girls--and boys--leads to him being attacked, shot at, and challenged to a light saber battle by a three-year-old. It also makes him realize that the "One" may have been there will him all along, and he just didn't know it. 10 kisses. 10 blasts from the past. 1 second-chance at love. Views: 38
