Novels by Talia Sommers

Heading towards my lesson, I couldn't stop my mind racing, thinking about what I'd just agreed to. At least Beth and Joshua would be there on the date to keep the conversation flow; it'd be pretty uncomfortable for me otherwise. I had yet to meet the infamous Joshua, anyway. He and Beth had only been dating for a month and, until now, I'd refused point-blank to meet him.It wasn't out of jealousy or spite or anything – Beth's short-lived relationships usually only lasted anywhere between a week and three months, so I'd just completely given up meeting all of her boyfriends.

That's probably the reason we laughed hysterically every time somebody told O
