''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 mom, 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.
