title: Hardly Perfect
author: Anderson, Christina
description: Aubrey Foster knows Nick Agrippa exists solely for the purpose of making her life miserable. Ever since he convinced everyone that she faked an allergic reaction to a bee sting for attention, no one has been on her side. Whenever he gets the chance to take a jab at Aubrey, he does, making sure that she never gets up when she falls. Because anything he says, the whole school automatically agrees to, leading to disastrous rumors and events that no one can ignore. When Nick discovers that Aubrey is in love with Billy Zachary, the boy every girl in the school likes, she knows her reputation is about to fall apart all over again. No one is ever safe from Nick’s rumors.
  
  But when Aubrey finds out that Nick wants to help her win the heart of the boy she loves instead, she knows she can’t trust him. Nick must have an alternate motive, some plan to ruin her already pitiable reputation, but she can’t figure out what it is. Yet she finds herself wanting his help, so she must place her faith in a boy she was never meant to trust.
  
  And once she starts trusting Nick, she can’t seem to stop.
  
  “Hardly Perfect” is hardly anything but perfect for young adults. In a story that teenagers can easily relate to, Aubrey Foster faces the world with a strong voice and a fearless determination to find out Nick’s true motive.
