Vegan Virgin Valentine by Carolyn Mackler

Mara is a high achiever, sights set on Yale with hopefully Valedictorian honors at the end of her time in school.

Until hurricane V her niece a year younger than her moves in and creates hell for her. Where Mara is straight edged, V smokes pot, acts like all the boys want her and she let's them have her if rumours are true and she even has a thing with Mara's ex, Travis.

Yet Mara also has issues at work too, Claudia she works with fancies their boss James. However, James and Mara seem to be having sparks fly between them so just how will that play out and not break any hearts?

The book is ultimately about fitting in and doing you not what somebody sets for you. We see V find stability she needed while Mara develops her dreams and separates her dreams from her parents idealisation for her future. Once again Carolyn has written a great book, the second in the series, Guyaholic, I read before this one and remember we see V get more settled and enter a relationship too, worth a read!
