Crushed

He was my crush for the longest time, but then he crushed me...Welcome to Hidden Falls High...the private exclusive academy in Malibu''s hidden community. I was supposed to be ecstatic now that I finally had the chance to transfer to my best friend and forever crush, Nat Donovan''s school...Only this was the year my long time crush, Nat Donovan, crushed me, and I would never be the same afterwards. For as long as I could remember, Nat Donovan and I had been best friends. Every summer he and his younger siblings Drew and Rachel, and I would get together and spend it at my Aunt Sookie''s Malibu beach house. So when I moved in with my Aunt Sookie and transferred to Nat''s school Hidden Falls High, I thought he would be happy.Only he wasn''t. Little did I know...the most popular boys at Hidden Falls High thought I was easy target. The new girl. The girl who didn''t belong...and they happened to be Nat''s best guy friends, The Knights of Hidden Falls High (#HFH). Little did they know this girl isn''t someone who would be easily crushed. Summer Jones may seem like a nice girl, but I am definitely not a pushover. So bring it on...**Crushed is a YA/NA prequel book for that can be read as a standalone or as the prequel to the soon-to-be-a-film series, Loving Summer Series (first published in 2012 and has continued growing as a series with spin-offs. Over a million copies of the Loving Summer Series has been sold). Crushed is a bully romance and touches upon issues such as bullying, self-esteem, self-confidence, and image. It is appropriate for 17 and up due to language and some mature issues. If this doesn''t bother you, then dive in!**UPDATE** Due to overwhelming demand from a poll on fan readership group, Kailin Gow''s Kingdom, CRUSHED will become a new spin-off book series, called Hidden Falls Academy, a complete series which also spun off the series, The Inner Circle Series!
