My Life as a Girl

ebook
It's the long, hot summer between high school and college, and Jaime Cody is working a double shift. Days at a greasy spoon called Franklin's All-American Diner; night at the Phoenix, a restaurant at a glitzy resort. She's hoping to earn the college money her father stole from her — and leave herself no time to think.
A whole country lies between where Jaime is — Arizona — and where she wants to be — Bryn Mawr, a college for women in Pennsylvania. The jobs mean the difference between making a life for herself and being duped by a man, the way her mother was.
The plan is perfect — until a boy named Buddy appears, reminding her of a character in the romantic stories her mother still loves to tell.
No one has to know about Buddy.
He's Jaime's secret.
Just for the summer.
