Bloom by Elizabeth Scott
Lauren has a good life- good friends,
okay grades, and the perfect boyfriend, who every girl dreams of dating. So why
is she so unhappy? She seems to be depressed compared to the people around her
until she sees Evan Kirkland. Lauren starts to realize who she could be with
Evan, and all she has to do is leave Dave. With two very different guys in love
with her, Lauren has to decide who she wants to be. Should she do the "right"
thing and stay with Dave, or should she make herself happy with Evan?
I liked this book because it shows that even the "right" thing can be wrong when
it doesn't make you happy.

Jason and Kyra by Dana Davidson
Jason Vincent is a popular, incredibly good-looking, star basketball player. Every girl wants to be with him and every guy want to be him. Kyra Evans is low-key, different, out-of-style, and super smart. When they are put together to work on a research project, Kyra is angry and Jason is perfectly happy. They end up becoming friends, but Kyra feels something further. The more they talk, she begins to fall for him. Could two people who are so different possibly be together? Kyra doesn't want to get her hopes up, but she can't stop thinking about it. I really liked this book because it shows that people from two different worlds can be together as long as they love each other.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Elizabeth Bennett, possibly the most complex heroine of English Literature, is living in provincial England at the turn of the 18th century. One of four sisters, all a part of their mother's grand plan to get each one married, Elizabeth chides formality and the rules of courtship of her time. When she meets Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, she is taken aback by his snobbery and becomes disgusted at the very thought of him. As the novel unfolds, however, she realizes that her pride may be erring her judgment of him. As this is Mrs. Womack's favorite novel of all time, it is a captivating story with an intricate plot. If you love romance, this classic is a must read! There will always be a copy available in the library!!!

White Lies and Barefaced Truths by Cathy Hopkins
Cat and Becca are the best of friends and always have been. Nothing will ever come between them, that is, until they both start liking the same guy at school-- Ollie Oxford. There are just a few problems though: 1) Cat has a boyfriend 2) Cat can't tell Becca how she's truly feeling 3) Ollie is only interested in Cat. I really liked this story, the English setting made it very interesting and showed how the girls' lives are different than the ones we lead.
