Clearwater Crossing #8
One Real Thing
Not only did Melanie fail to resolve her feelings about her mother’s death, she did what she swore she never would: She let Jesse into her life. Now that she’s opened the door, would slamming it shut be a losing move?
Jenna has a secret—a big one—and strict orders from sister Caitlin not to tell anyone. Jenna has given her word . . . but keeping quiet is killing her!
Ben has never kissed anyone, and it’s starting to drive him crazy. He’s determined to get his first kiss by the new year’s end. All he needs is a plan . . .
Leah and Miguel have never been closer, which is why she’s dreading the finals of the modeling contest she reluctantly entered. She’s only competing because the top prize is a major scholarship—but her college plans and Miguel’s don’t line up at all. Can she and Miguel stay together? Or are two very different futures destined to pull them apart?

Ohmygoodness if this book had any more feeling in it, it would be fit to burst. I loved the story, and with the Eight Prime girls of to California for the next book I wasn't surprised at how long the blissful happiness between the characters was going to last.
So of course we had to have a bit of heartache! Let's just say Laura Peyton Roberts will almost force you to get the next book in the series because there is absolutely no way that any one who has read this is not going to want to read on.
I say this every time I review a Clearwater Crossing book; but if you haven't started reading this series yet then I seriously suggest you go and pick up Book 1: Get a Life. It's free for the kindle and one of the best reads you will ever have the joy of experiencing. With it's deep thought provoking workds it's hard to not love any of the characters even if at first you are doubtful.
And I can't wait to finish the next installment.

Jesse still has his sights set on Melanie and believes his plan is working.
Ben. What a mess. He's never been kissed and sets about on a mission to see that changed.
Nicole's sister threatens to tell their mother about Nicole coming home drunk if Nicole doesn't help Heather toilet-paper the house of a particular guy.
Jenna stuck her nose where it didn't belong and now doesn't have time to make things right before leaving for a few days.
Leah is in for a surprise just before boarding the plane that will take her to sunny California for the US Girls competition.
Again, this remains a clean teen series.
