Book Cover & Preview Text
The more I looked at him, the more I realized that this was not a “boy,” as I so erroneously described him, this was a man. There had to be a significant age gap between me and him. He had the height, bone structure, and appearance of a man, that’s for certain. For the first time, a man actually caught my eye. I had finally found my potential better half. Of course it would have happened only a few minutes after I decided to vocalize my disdain for the male population of my high school. Luckily, my fourteen-year-old self’s inability to stay focused paid off in this particular encounter.

About the Book
Fourteen-year-old Harper Whitmore has just entered high school as a naïve five-foot tall freshman who has a quick wit and an ability to hold her own. Although she is convinced she is prepared to take on the world (or her tiny island of it), everything changes when she collides with the popular, attractive captain of the varsity basketball team just before second period.
Scott Pierce quickly moves in on Harper, leaving little chance for anyone else to date her. Both fascinated and terrified by her relationship with the seemingly worldly senior, Harper becomes a captivating subject of gossip that soon makes her keenly aware of how others see her relationship with a guy who always gets precisely what he wants. As she navigates her unconventional dating life, Harper slowly discovers she is becoming just what her peers see in Scott. Despite the hurdles they face together, they believe they are good for each other. But at whose expense?
Just Us is the story of a high school freshman’s journey through love, identity, and confidence after she begins dating the most popular guy in her high school.
