The Truth About Thongs [aka Putting Boys on the Ledge]

2004

You know that amazing moment when the guy you've been crushing on finally notices you? And you have a fantastic conversation? And then, the next day, he doesn't even recognize you, let alone drop to his knees and declare he'll be yours forever? Yeah, that hurts. And that's pretty much Blueberry Waller's life. Freshman year might have started off as zero for Blue, but when she gets a part in the school musical as her crush's mother, it's her chance to get noticed by him. Yes, Heath is much cooler than she is. Yes, he's a senior, and she's a freshman. And yes, he has to kiss another girl in the play. But when he runs into Blue at a cast party, suddenly, she's on his radar. Things are moving fast, faster than Blue is prepared for. It takes her three best friends, and a very hot senior named Colin, to help her figure things out….until things suddenly become a lot more complicated than she ever intended…including a first kiss that's all wrong.

How to Date a Bad Boy (aka Studying Boys)

2016

Frances Spinelli is not the type of girl to notice a bad boy, let alone date one. Which is perfect, since she is definitely not the type of girl that a rebellious hottie would ever notice. Except she has noticed one particular troublemaker who wears a leather jacket and can melt any heart with his charming smile…and he just happens to be her best friend's older brother. Theo thinks of Frances as his sister's studious and uptight bff, not as potential girlfriend material. Even her matchmaking friends can't keep Frances from daydreaming about him. But when Theo and Frances get paired on a school project, his rebellious ways threaten what really matters to her. Can Frances finally step up and how him exactly how bad a good girl can be?

2017

When Allie's summer in Hollywood crashes and burns after her dad dumps her, she has two choices: crawl under the covers and cry for three months, or manipulate her way into getting a job at the farm stand that her friends (and some boys!) are working at for the summer.

But when she shows up for her first day at work, she discovers that being assigned to a shovel dirt with a boy who thinks she's useless (which she might actually be, when it comes to farm work) is a sweaty, miserable torture that no girl deserves.

Geeks Can Be Hot

Natalie is popular with all the boys…but it's the kind of popular where they think of her as one of the guys. She's pretty sure most of them don't even realize she's a girl. With all of her friends paired off with boyfriends, Natalie is determined to jumpstart her own social life. Now that she's on varsity cross-country with a fresh crop of boys, she's certain her life is finally going to get good…until a bad grade in math puts her athletics, and her social plans, at risk. In order to stay on the team, Natalie must agree to her teacher's requirement to be tutored by Matt, a sort-of-cute, but annoying, brainiac, who has a better social life than she does. When she is caught with Matt, she panics, and accidentally announces that he's her boyfriend. The minute the lie is out, Natalie's life changes. Her friends are now including her in their double dates. Her parents have no clue she's failing math. And the boys' varsity captain has finally noticed her. Having a (fake) boyfriend is the best thing that's ever happened to Natalie…except that Matt is ready to blow her cover. If only she can convince him to go along with it, everything will be perfect…or will it?

Ice Cream, Jealousy, and Other Dating Tips

2009

See, here's the thing. My friends think my new soccer practice partner, Graham Fordham, is a complete hottie. I guess he is, but he and I have this understanding. We're friends because we both think dating is an annoying pain in the butt. Don't get me wrong. I love my bff's, but they've both lost their minds a little since boys came on the scene. All I want to focus on is making varsity soccer as a freshman. Crazy hard, but I know I can do it with Graham's help (yes, he's an amazing athlete, and no, I have not noticed the muscles in his legs when we're practicing. Seriously. I haven't. Because that would be a complete disaster and ruin everything in my entire life, and no, I'm not exaggerating). But when late night practices, pizza disasters, accidental dates, and ice cream food fights change all the rules between us, suddenly everything that matters to me is about to go into a major crash and burn.

Stephanie believes in learning to listen to your heart in order to figure out what your dreams are, and then opening yourself to the inspiration that will direct you there. She believes we all deserve the right to enjoy life, and for the ride to be as easy as we want it to be, and that we all should accept nothing less than making our dreams come true. Stephanie lives in New England, and spends every day doing her best to fill it with people, observations and activities that uplift her soul, which include writing, tennis, dancing, friends, and her amazing family.
