The Lovely One

#1 Have an adventure #2 Find confidence #3 Experience real love Yeah, those are the three reasons why I signed myself up as a foreign exchange student.Little Emily Klein, the popular girls’ pet, going along with whatever, never speaking her mind.Puppe, they called me. “Little doll.” But I was through with being a doll, through with being a background character in my own life.Everything was going to change— even if I had to cross an ocean for it.Bring on a year of bright lights, nightlife and parties in the USA.Except my plan didn’t work.I was shipped off to the smallest of small-town America, a place where nothing ever happens, host families treat you like a maid, and nobody talks to shy German girls.That is, until I met them. Paul Shields. All-American football player (the kind with the pointy brown ball, not what people here call “soccer”).He’s actually kind of sweet . . . or is he? Jon Denson. Paul’s best friend, the brooding, leather-jacket type. We get along like a house on fire. Literally. They’re my two tickets to an adventure that’s way beyond what I can handle. The trouble with coming out of the shadows is that I start getting noticed. And now I need to make a decision that’ll cost me either my mind . . . or my heart. No matter what, I’m sticking to my list. I’m not Puppe any longer. So who exactly am I? —- ISBN: 9783000671630
