Amy is excited to score a summer job at the resort where her best friend is also working. She needs a good reference for film school--and her new boss is hot. But when her crush on him moves quickly from flirtation to more, Amy must decide how far she's willing to go. Some authentic-sounding dialogue enlivens this movie-of-the-week tale.

YA
SideStreets series.
With unsupportive parents asking for handouts and friends who can't relate to poverty, high school senior Robyn feels like the deck is stacked against her. She wants to become an architect but she's worried that instead she'll be stuck at her family's orchard in the Okanagan Valley. The narrative is choppy, with too much emotional drama, but Robyn's fears and ambitions are relatable.
