Ah, the power of a romance novel...Molly Miller spends another dateless Friday evening curled up in her favorite chair with a borrowed romance novel and a cup of hot cocoa.

The Boyfriend Plan - a short teen romance
Now that Ellie Taylor has finally entered high school, it’s time to put The Boyfriend Plan into action. Josh Valentine, her older brother’s best friend, has been the object of her secret affections since she was in the fourth grade and he was in sixth.
The plan is simple: get Josh to know her as herself, not Jared’s little sister; get him to see her as girlfriend material, and then get him notice her and ask her out. The deadline: Valentine’s Day—her sixteenth birthday, and the age when she’s finally allowed to date.
Through it all, Ellie relies on her best friend, Kevin, to see her through the ups and downs of high school and the roller coaster emotions that come with liking a boy who doesn’t like her in return.
Yeah, the plan itself is simple. The execution if it, not so much. Josh ends up dating another girl, and Ellie finds out that Kevin has harbored his own secret crush—on her.
Ellie must decide if her feelings for Josh are based on reality or a fourth-grade perspective, and whether Kevin is really the boyfriend she has been looking for.
