She''s looking good . . . but Allison Avery can''t believe it. Growing up with beautiful, blond sisters, Allison has always been the dark-haired, "interesting-looking" Avery. So when the devil shows up and offers to make her gorgeous, Allison jumps at the chance to finally get noticed. But there''s one tiny catch, and it''s not her soul: The devil wants her cell phone.

Though her deal with the devil seems like a good idea at the time, Allison soon realizes that being gorgeous isn''t as easy as it looks. Are her new friends and boyfriend for real, or do they just like her pretty face? Allison can''t trust anyone anymore, and her possessed phone and her family''s financial crisis aren''t making things any easier. Plus, when she finds out that she might be America''s next teen model, all hell breaks loose. Allison may be losing control, but how far is she willing to go to stay gorgeous forever?

Following the critically acclaimed Lucky, Rachel Vail continues her poignant sisterhood trilogy with the rebellious middle Avery sister, Allison. Fiery, sarcastic, and just plain fun, gorgeous captures the heartbreak and hilarity in one girl''s attempt to have it all.

Everything is going to be fine . . . .

Quinn Avery can handle change. It''s just paint, right? Bright, blinding white paint covering her once dazzling red bedroom walls. Quinn knows she shouldn''t be angry at her mom—she''s doing what she must to sell the house—but still, Quinn is beyond mad, and she doesn''t know what to do about it.

Until now, Quinn was doing a pretty good job at pretending to be her old self—calm and brilliant Avery daughter, responsible big sister to Allison and Phoebe, piano virtuoso, girl who makes everyone proud—but without the sanctuary of her room, a new, wild Quinn is emerging. Lying, sneaking out, partying, Quinn is practically asking to get caught. When Quinn adds kissing the wrong boys—including her sister''s boyfriend and her own piano teacher—to her list of crimes, has she gone too far to save herself?

Brilliant, the final book in Rachel Vail''s critically acclaimed sisterhood series, which includes Lucky and Gorgeous, follows Quinn through a summer of change as she discovers that while letting go is never easy, hanging on can be even harder. Witty and poignant, Brilliant is the perfect ending to this addictive trilogy of interconnected sister stories.

Josie is independent and fierce. She may flirt with boys or kiss them, but it doesn''t mean anything, not even with Michael, who''s more like a friend-with-benefits. So how can she explain what happens when Carson Gold goes after her? Carson Gold, the hottest senior, the one everyone secretly watches. . . .

Maybe it''s the same thing that causes all the girls to stare as he walks by. Or maybe it''s something between them, something just he and Josie share.

Could you resist?

It''s too much, when love finds you and pulls you under. It''s too much, even for Josie.

Now, living under one roof, Charlie and Kevin are crossing paths and crossing lines, sneaking around at night and then sitting down to breakfast together as a family. It feels so crazy—exciting, confusing, impossible, and romantic. It can''t last, not like this, but if anybody discovers their secret, everything could explode. . . .

Praised for her wit and realism, award-winning author Rachel Vail delivers a poignant tale of first love and powerful kisses, at long last answering the question of what happens when a crush so off-limits it has to be fantasy suddenly becomes very real.
