'First love at its finest' JASMINE GUILLORY

Five stars for Audre & Bash Are Just Friends MEG CABOT

MEET AUDRE. Junior class president. Debate team captain. Unofficial student therapist. Desperately in need of a good time.

MEET BASH. Mysterious new senior. Everybody's crush. Tall, floppy, great taste in jewellery. King of having a good time.

It's the last day of school at Cheshire Prep, Brooklyn's elite academy - and Audre Mercy-Moore's life is a mess. Her dad cancelled her annual summer visit to his Malibu beach house. Now? She's stuck in a claustrophobic apartment with her mum, stepdad, and one-year-old sister (aka the Goblin Baby).

Under these conditions, she'll never finish writing her self-help book - i.e., the key to landing a spot at her dream university.

Cut to Bash Henry! Audre hires him to be her 'fun consultant'. His job? To help her complete the Experience Challenge - her list of five wild dares designed to give her juicy book material. She'll get inspo; he'll get paid. Everybody wins.

He isn't boyfriend material. And she's not looking for one. Can they stay professional despite their obvious connection?

SCORCHING-HOT SUMMER. SCORCHING-HOT CHEMISTRY. But Audre and Bash can't forget - they're just friends.
