"Jasmine" is a Hooker Name

FIRST OF ALL, I wanna thank you guys who followed me! I'm at 10 followers... which is crazy... Because I totally didn't expect people to actually read my little ramblings. So thank you. *beams* I've made a pact to hopefully make my blog a little more writing-like and hopefully a little more entertaining for people to read. :P

Speaking of, I had an epiphany a few days ago. I read the amazing book, The Probability of Miracles by Wendy Wunder, and was inspired to write something inspiring. Or rather, I want other people to feel the way I felt reading that book, reading my book. But I couldn't figure out what to write to make it not so depressing.

So I came up with a few ideas. (I know people say not to write summaries until after the book is written, but I happen to love writing summaries, so there. :P )

Jasmine is a Hooker Name:
People always write their autobiographies when they're at least in their thirties and honestly, how are you supposed to remember what it was like to be young when you're that age? So this is my life, as told from a teen's point of view, at that moment in life where everything is either going better than you'd hoped or falling apart-- depending on the weekday. Life is a constant roller coaster, and when you're fifteen you seem to finally understand that not everything's perfect. Not even you.

When You're Older:
Kelly Ross makes the discovery of a lifetime-- a letter she wrote to her future self when she was a teenager, reminding herself of all the things a parent should and should not do, all the things to keep in mind even as an adult, and all the things she should hope to understand when she's older. People change the older they get, but it's being young at heart that makes the difference in how to live your life.

Confessions of a Compulsive Liar:
Ivy English is a compulsive liar.

(No, really.)

She's pretty good at it, too, until she gets caught one time too many and is sent away to attend a rehabilitation camp for compulsive liars. There she meets Jay, a Latino who secretly drag races motorcycles; Amber, who can talk her way out of anything; and Parker, the camp's overly helpful director who is more than he appears. They all seem like perfectly nice people-- except the fact that they're all skin deep in a lie they can't escape.

And if Ivy wants to help them, she has to first figure out how to pull down the walls she built and quit lying, to both herself and everyone else.

Happy Enough:
Music was Cammie Banes' life, until a disease ripped through her and stole her voice. After two years of chronic depression a change of scenery is in order, and Cammie is moved all the way across the country to sunny Miami, Florida.

Cammie doesn't think life could get any worse-- that is, until she meets Gino Santos. Gino might just be the happiest boy alive, and Cammie would know. He plays his guitar on the street corner outside of her apartment every morning.

Gino doesn't understand why Cammie doesn't like him, and Cammie doesn't understand how he could stay so happy while life takes you for a tailspin. But there are things about Gino Santos even she doesn't know, things that could change her perspective for the better.

Perfectly Kissable:
Lani Long lands the lead role of a lifetime in her school's play. Unfortunately, it requires her to kiss the male protagonist.

The only problem? Lani's never been kissed.

Maybe to other people it wouldn't be such a big deal, but Lani wants her first kiss to mean something. It has to be in the perfect spot, at the perfect time, with the perfect guy. With only three months left until opening night, Lani needs to find and fall in love with a boy to have her first kiss with before she can smooch the actor playing her love interest, which is easier said than done. Love has a funny way of reminding you what's more important-- the perfect kiss, or the perfect moment to have it.

So those are a few running through my brain. I might combine a few into one... maybe. Although I would love your input! Which one would you guys read?
