Alice Jenkins is the worst girlfriend in the world according to the
many, many boys who've shimmied up lampposts and shoplifted from New
Look to impress her, only to be dumped when she gets bored of them.
Alice has a very low boredom threshold.
But she never gets bored with Franny, her best friend since they met
at nursery school. Friends are for ever. Ain't nothing going to come
between them. Girls rule, boys drool is their motto. Well, it's Alice's
motto, Franny doesn't have much time for boys; they're all totes
immature and only interested in one thing.
But then there's Louis Allen, lead singer of Thee Desperadoes, the
best band in Merrycliffe-on-sea (though that could be because they're
the only band in Merrycliffe-on-sea). He's a tousle-haired,
skinny-jeaned, sultry-eyed manchild, the closest thing that Franny's
ever seen to the hipsters that she's read about on the internet and
she's been crushing on him HARD for the last three years.
She's never worked up the courage to actually speak to him but she's
sure on some deeper level that goes beyond mere words, Louis absolutely
knows that she's his soulmate. He just doesn't know that he knows it
yet. It's why he cops off with so many other girls.
So, when Alice, bored with callow youths, sets her sights on Louis it
threatens to tear the girls' friendship apart, even though they're
better than fighting over a boy.
They strike a devil's deal - may the best girl win. Best friends
become bitter rivals and everything comes to an explosive conclusion on
their first trip to London.
Can true friendship conquer all?

Sealed with a Kiss by Rachael Lucas - 8th May
Kate is dumped on her best friend’s wedding day by the world’s most
boring boyfriend, Ian. She’s mostly cross because he got in first –
until she remembers she’s now homeless as well as jobless. Rather than
move back home to her ultra-bossy mother, Kate takes a job on the remote
Scottish island of Auchenmor as an all-round Girl Friday. Her first day
is pretty much a disaster: she falls over, smack bang at the feet of
her grouchy new boss, Roddy, Laird of the Island. Unimpressed with her
townie ways, he makes it clear she’s got a lot to prove.
Island life has no room for secrets, but prickly Roddy’s keeping
something to himself. When his demanding ex girlfriend appears back on
the island, Kate’s budding friendship with her new boss comes to an
abrupt end. What is Fiona planning – and can she be stopped before it’s
too late?
Maddy, dressed in white, stands at the back of the church. At the end
of the aisle is Rob - the man she's about to marry. Next to Rob is Ben -
best man and the best friend any two people ever had.
And that's the problem.
Because
if it wasn't Rob waiting for her at the altar, there's a strong chance
it would be Ben. Loyal and sensitive Ben has always kept his feelings to
himself, but if he turned round and told Maddy she was making a
mistake, would she listen? And would he be right?
Best
friends since childhood, Maddy, Ben and Rob thought their bond was
unbreakable. But love changes everything. Maddy has a choice to make but
will she choose wisely? Her heart, and the hearts of the two best men
she knows, depend on it...

The Summer Without You by Karen Swan - 22nd May
Rowena Tipton isn’t looking for a new life, just a new adventure,
something to while away the months as her long-term boyfriend presses
pause on their relationship before they become engaged. But when a
chance encounter at a New York wedding leads to an audition for a
coveted houseshare in The Hamptons – Manhattan’s elite beach scene –
suddenly a new life is exactly what she’s got.
Stretching before her is a summer with three eclectic housemates, long days on white sand ocean beaches and parties on gilded tennis courts. But high rewards bring high stakes and Rowena soon finds herself caught in the crossfire of a vicious intimidation campaign. Alone for the first time in her adult life, she has no-one to turn to but a stranger who is everything she doesn’t want - but possibly everything she needs.
LOVE what you see? It's going to be an amazing month, isn't it? These babies will definitely be the perfect summer holiday companion!
