for Everyone Else #3)

Wilson
Release Date: 07/15/14
Summary from Goodreads:
When Hannah’s world
falls apart after graduation, she finds that there are only two things from her
old life that she can trust: her best friend Constance, and her fascination
with Constance’s cousin Benjamin. But when Benjamin snubs her advances for
superficial reasons, Hannah decides that she will have him no matter what the
cost. Hannah gathers a diverse group of allies to help her finally get what
she’s always wanted.
In this YA retelling of William Shakespeare’s All’s Well that Ends Well, follow
Hannah as she goes to the ends of the earth in her pursuit of the ungrateful
Benjamin. Are there limits to love and devotion, and is all truly well that
ends well?
Excerpt from All's Well That Ends Well
“You’re just lucky
you’re not ugly, otherwise you’d never get away with acting the way you do.”
Patrick arched a brow
and looked at her again. She was only a fraction of the girl who had
been putting him in his place since the day he moved to this
town. He wondered what he had ever found so intimidating about
her. What a waste of a decent body.
“I don’t really know
how to answer that,” he said, smiling. “All I’m saying is that you
should consider going to the party. Everyone knows you loved a good
party before what happened with your father. You shouldn’t live in
the past, Hannah-Banana, but focus on the present and remain hopeful about the
future. If you don’t start to open up again you’re going to find
yourself very lonely. Why don’t you go out and make out with some
guys if you’re not comfortable having sex yet? There’s no harm in
kissing.” His phone buzzed
again. “Agh! Dammit, I do have to go, Hannah-Banana,” he
said, setting the can of pop on the kitchen counter and darting towards the
door. “I hope I see you tonight. Think about what I
said.”
Hannah shook her head
as Patrick hastily shut the door behind him. Would it really be so
terrible to go to the party? Patrick would be there, and though he
was arrogant, he could occasionally be fun in small doses. He was
also a link to Benjamin. She tugged on a strand of her light brown
hair, the ends frizzing up as usual. What would be the
harm? She was a college freshman and college freshman went to
parties. Hell, Benjamin was still a high school senior and even he
was going to parties.
“Screw it,” she said
to no one in particular. “I’m going.”
