Itβs the start of summer and Josh Graham will be working at his parentβs surf shop. When his best friend Colby goes on vacation, Josh is stuck working with Bryceβand all of Bryceβs terrible ideas for summer. They make a list of what the βperfect girlfriendβ would be like, and now they plan to find her. It shouldnβt be too hard, since Josh is one of the hottest, most popular guys in school. Right?Bess Navarre would rather read a book than go outside. Sheβs chubby, dorky, and a self-proclaimed loser. But when her grandmother volunteers her to work at a jewelry kiosk on the beach, Bess has to comply, no matter how humiliating it is. Bikinis and Bess do not go together, and now she feels even dorkier than ever.
When Bess and Joshβs paths collide, sparks fly. But it wonβt be that easy. Bryce wants Josh to date a supermodel. And although Bess might just fit all of the things on Joshβs list, she wonβt give herself a chance to figure it out.
Excerpt 1
Chapter 1
JoshGraduating high school was supposed to feel like becoming an adult. After so many years of slogging through early morning alarms, bumpy bus rides, and crappy cafeteria food, the day after graduation was supposed to be . . . different. Guess I thought Iβd feel like an official adult or something.
Besides the fact that I slept until noon, my life feels exactly the same. Some seniors from my school are planning to move across the country and become crazy party college freshman, but not me. Iβm just stuck here in Louetta, Texas, a small town with a few good pizza joints, but nothing really exciting to brag about. Iβll be starting good olβ community college in the fall, for what, I have no idea. Mom said sheβd help me sign up for core classes. Dad said Iβll have a blast. Iβm not exactly sure how true that is, since Iβve seen the campus and it looks like a combination of a thrift store and like, an old Walmart. Once college starts, Iβll have two years to figure out what Iβd like to major in, and then maybe, Iβll feel more like an adult.
Right now Iβm just happy to have one last summer of not doing a damn thing except working at the family business, The Flying Mermaid. Itβs a surf shop on the beach, passed down from my grandparents. It was a TV repair shop when they owned it. My parents turned it into a surf shop with a little section at the front for gifts and girly crap my mom loves. Itβs a pretty popular hangout at Blue Beach, and working there has always felt more like fun than actual work.
Of course, there are other things I aspire to do this summer.
Like get a girlfriend.
