Teen Confessions #35

When a bored houseguest named Paula arrives to spend the summer with her librarian aunt and meets the charming Mr. Andrew Hyde, she hatches a plan to make herself look older and more sophisticated—and it works almost too well. As Paula's scheming draws Andrew's attention away from Aunt Nell, she begins to realize that winning someone's affection through deception might cost her something far more valuable than a summer romance.

A young woman named Virginia finds herself torn between her family's warnings and her feelings for Turk Nolan, a troubled boy with a reputation for getting into serious problems. When Turk pressures her to elope with him after getting arrested, Virginia must confront what loving someone really means—and face the devastating consequences of choices made in the heat of the moment.

When her father's job transfer forces a young woman named Ginnie Cole to leave her old town, she finds herself a complete outsider at her new high school—the kids dress, talk, and think in ways she can't respect. After reluctantly conforming to their styles to fit in, she discovers something unexpected: a fellow misfit named Jed Williams who shares her doubts about following the crowd. Together, they start to wonder if there's a way to help their classmates see beyond surface-level conformity.
