10 blind dates by Ashley Elston (3.0)

A perfect companion for christmas holidays. This easy read will take you to the lanes of your high school days and breakups. Though Elston has presented a huge family, it's easy to track the story and the characters, besides the messy and crazy lives of this non-manageable kin.

The knockout by Sajni Patel (4.5)
Perfect story of an imperfect teenager. Brown girl in states, not so good financial status, losing friendship and muay thai fighter with ripped muscles.
