'Maggie is a seventeen year old girl who's had a bad year. Her mom left, her dad is depressed, she's graduating, barely, and her boyfriend of almost three years dumped her for a college football scholarship. Lately she thinks life is all about hanging on by a thread and is gripping tight with everything she has.'

I've Got Your Number by Sophia Kinsella ****

Light comedy with a screwball element. Got a love triangle and a will she won't she aspect to it. Everything Kinsella writes is charming and witty in my opinion so it is great for making you feel good.

'A couple of glasses of bubbly with the girls and Poppy's life has gone into meltdown. Not only has she lost her engagement ring, but in the panic that followed, she's lost her phone too. When she spots an abandoned phone in a bin it seems it was meant to be…Finders Keepers!

Except the phone's owner, elusive businessman Sam Roxton, doesn't agree. He wants his phone back, and doesn't appreciate Poppy reading all his messages and wading into his personal life. Can things get any more tangled?'

The Boyfriend League by Rachel Hawthorne ****

For sports fans and non- sports fans alike. Forbidden love (kind of) with a great friendship that, whether you are in a relationship or not, is bound to give you those butterflies in your gut and that smile on your face

'The Boyfriend League From the author of the irresistible beach reads "Caribbean Cruising" and "Thrill Ride" comes a book ideal for a lazy day at the ball park--the story of a girl who searches for romance among the boys of summer.'

Adorkable by Sarra Manning ****

Full of Girl Power, this book has amazing chemistry between the two main characters that make you want to change the world and eat a tonne of Haribo with a hunky guy.
