Coworker, childhood friend, and worst enemy: the changing dynamics of friendship (and maybe...relationship?) are front and center in this charming debut novel with equal amounts of wit and heart.
Quinn is having a rough summer. Her beloved grandmother has been put into a nursing home, her dad's gambling addiction has flared back up, and now her worst enemy is back in town: Wesley James, former childhood friend and life ruiner.
So when Wesley is hired to work with her at Tudor Tymes, a medieval England-themed restaurant, the last thing Quinn's going to do is forgive and forget. She's determined to remove him from her life and even the score for once and for all—by getting him fired.
But getting rid of Wesley isn't as easy as she'd hoped. When Quinn finds herself falling for him, she has to decide what she wants more: to get even, or to get the boy.
Wesley James Ruined My Life is an engaging romp through rivalry and restaurants from debut author Jennifer Honeybourn and chosen by readers like you for Macmillan's young adult imprint Swoon Reads.

      Gr 7-10-Quinn's got a plan to survive the summer and go on the school band trip to England with her bestie in the fall. Then her archnemesis, Wesley, moves back to town and is all over Quinn's life-in band, with her friends, and even at her job at a medieval-themed restaurant. Quinn quickly plots to ruin Wesley's life by getting him fired, but the more time that they spend together, the more Quinn becomes confused about her feelings for him. Honeybourn's debut is everything readers expect and want from a lighthearted summer teen romance. Quinn and Wesley are fun, well-developed protagonists, and there is a full cast of interesting secondary characters, too. The book's even pacing will entice teens from the start and keep them reading. The plot is enjoyably predictable, with a few twists typical of the genre, and the story ties up neatly. VERDICT This pitch-perfect quirky summer romance is ideal for most collections.-Cyndi Hamann, Crystal Lake Public Library, IL
