Mean Girls meets The Taming of the Shrew in this romantic follow-up to Always Never YoursCameron Bright's reputation can be summed up in one word: b*tch. It's no surprise she's queen bee at her private L.A. high school--she's beautiful, talented, and notorious for her brutal honesty. But when she slips up in front of her crush, Andrew, any affection he may have had for her quickly fades. To win him over, Cameron resolves to "tame" herself, much like Shakespeare's infamous shrew, Katherine. If she makes amends with everyone she's ever wronged, Andrew will have to take notice. Thus, Cameron begins her apology tour with Brendan, the guy whose social life she single-handedly destroyed. At first, Brendan isn't so quick to forgive, but slowly he warms to her when they connect over a computer game he's developing. To Cameron's amazement, she actually enjoys hanging out with Brendan; he appreciates her honesty in a way Andrew never did, and she's left wondering: maybe you shouldn't have to compromise who you are for the kind of love you deserve.

"Really good and relatable (to some) and do recommend if you like female protagonist who decide to write their own stories."

"Starts off kind of slow, but once it gets going, it is amazing. The epilogue, though, only seems to be there to tie it to the authors' first book."

Ricki Marking-Camuto

"Absolutely loved this book. I found that I identified with the main character a little too much that It unnerved me. The story of a girl trying to figure out where she truly fits and being honest with herself instead of putting on a mask to try and prove herself to an absent father. Side note, I know we don't judge a book by it's cover but it's so PRETTY, and I love pink. I was drawn to it at Barnes and Noble and I'm so happy that I bought it."

"It was a twist on a normal girl wants boy girl earns boy type story. Although I predicted what happened I didn't predict how it would happen. I liked the detail, of her finding herself."
