About this ebook

No one expects a girl like Seven to snag a baller like Josiah—but love has a way of taking unexpected turns in this YA urban romance.

Seven McKnight can rock Apple Bottoms jeans and stilettos like nobody's business, but she's got her share of issues. It's not easy being the thickest girl in her school’s popular clique, or hiding  the fact that her twin sister is playing wifey to the neighborhood thug. To make things worse, she’s feelin' the school's hottest baller, Josiah—the guy who happens to be dating her high maintenance girlfriend, Deeyah.
 
But when Deeyah decides to play Josiah and his worst enemy against each other, she'll have everyone facing off in the worst way. Once again, it’s up to Seven to try and set things right. But she might just set herself up for a major heartbreak in the process.

About the author

Ni-Ni Simone is a Jersey girl with an obsession for reality TV and celebrity gossip. She never intended to write teen fiction, but her editor and the literary gods had other plans. She whipped up her first novel, Shortie Like Mine, in two weeks, and has been in love with writing ever since. Shortie was the first of Ni-Ni’s books to be selected by YALSA (Young Adult Library Services Association) as a Quick Pick for Reluctant Young Adult Readers, and it’s also a Virginia Readers’ Choice Selection. When she’s not writing, Ni-Ni is soaking up inspiration from music, TV, and most of all, the teens out there hanging tough no matter what comes their way. Ni-Ni lives in North Jersey with her husband and their children. Visit her online at ninisimone.com, on Facebook at NiNiSimoneOfficialFanPage, and follow her on Twitter @IamNiNiSimone.
