Gehrman, Jody

YA
Natalie's the relationship columnist for the school paper (pen name "Dr. Aphrodite"). In an attempt to improve her guy-advice, she takes on another clandestine identity: Nat at all-male Underwood Academy. Her infiltration is a success (at first), even though she falls for roommate Emilio. The plot stretches credulity, but girls curious about the male psyche may be entertained by the supposed insider-look element, however improbable.

YA
The teen baristas return in this Confessions of a Triple Shot Betty sequel. Geena's not sure where things stand with her increasingly demanding (sexually) boyfriend. Meanwhile, she's preoccupied with helping Amber attract the attention of a more sophisticated man, Cyrano style. Gehrman effectively brews up a potent blend of friendship and romance while maintaining a light, frothy tone.

Geena's sure that working as a barista with her best friend, Amber, and favorite cousin, Hero, will make for the perfect summer. The only problem? Amber and Hero hate each other. Witty narration about lovelorn characters combines with realistically banal conversations in this Much Ado About Nothing–inspired story that's as satisfyingly frothy as one of Geena's cappuccino creations.
