You can read this series before or after reading Everything Happens for a Reason.... series description For Jill Sherer, high school's shaping up to be better than she could've imagined. From the first week of cheerleading practice, she and her best friends Hillary and Lorylyn are included in a circle of popular girls who open the door to a world of exciting social possibilities. And on the first day of school, Jill meets Todd - hot, smart, funny, athletic, and a flirt - the boy of her dreams. But things with Todd don't go as Jill had hoped, she and Hillary drift apart, and her circle of friends is shaken because of Lorylyn's new boyfriend. Desperate to get things back to the way they were, Jill, along with her new best friend Hilton - a gorgeous, intriguing girl who is the link between her old friends and her new ones - anxiously awaits the one thing that never changes...Landon Kessler's parties. There, on a lake outside town, everyone comes together time after time for dancing, drinking, skinny-dipping, and spin the bottle. Spin the bottle...the game that leads to new loves, bitter jealousies, betrayals, and breakups. The game that teasingly draws the circle of friends together, only to rip them apart in unforeseeable ways. But they keep coming back, some with hope, some with malevolence, some with amused interest, to be part of the saga that unfolds over three years. Until finally, at Landon's last party, the shattering secret is revealed that breaks the circle forever. And as Landon and his friends go off to college, Jill, Hilton, Lorylyn, Hillary, and Todd are left to pick up the pieces and try to salvage their senior year. |
