Description
A college girl is caught between a beautiful future and tender memories of the past in this YA urban romance novel by the author of Shortie Like Mine.
Freshman year at Stiles University had eighteen-year-old Seven McKnight in a tug of war for her heart. And her sophomore year promised more of the same. She'd sworn off her ex-boyfriend, Josiah Whitaker and moved on with her new guy, Zaire St. James. But then Josiah boldly stepped back into her life—as tempting as ever.
Caught off guard and thrust into a whirlwind of emotion, Seven no longer knows if she should stay or go. All she knows is that old feelings won't die, her new love is being ruined by lies, and the fairy tale she once dreamed of may never come true.

      • bioText: 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.

        March 1, 2014

        Gr 10 Up-College sophomore Seven McKnight has spent the summer holed up with her new man, Zaire. But when September comes and school is back in session, her former love, Josiah, is putting the full-court press on her. Who will Seven choose-reformed bad boy Zaire, with whom she shares a comfortable routine, or the ex who broke her heart? Readers will be caught up in the melodrama that swirls around the 18-year-old. Hilarious sidekicks and BFFs who simply want her to enjoy college life are with her every step of the way. Though some of Seven's actions and decisions may be uncomfortable, her character is well drawn and certainly rings true as a teen trying on adult relationships for the first time. The book is filled with great banter among the characters and captures the spirit of life at a big city university. Teens will enjoy the latest chapter in this urban heroine's story.-Elaine Baran Black, Georgia Public Library Service, Atlanta
