Paige is Mitcham College's Silver Spoon; she can have any guy she wants. Or can she? When her friends bet she can’t get a bad boy to fall for her, she agrees to the wager. Enter Bash Baker; Mitcham College's cherry popper. He’s the most egotistical, stereotypical jerk in the whole school. Either Bash’s fragile male ego is popped by the formal, or Paige has to give Mia’s nerdy cousin his first French kiss. Bash is Mitcham College's Cherry Popper; he’s popped more cherries than Casanova in all of Venice*. But there’s one cherry his mates bet he’ll never get. Enter Paige Nicholls; the school’s ‘it’ girl. Never one to shy away from a bet, Bash agrees to his mate’s wager. Either Paige’s cherry is popped by the formal, or Bash gives up his title to the nerdy band geek in the year below them. It’s War of the Romance as Paige and Bash try to seduce the other one without falling for the ruse themselves. Usual tactics don’t seem to be working, so the two of them might need to switch things up. Otherwise they might find they’re the one who’s popped. *possible exaggeration. This rom-com parody is not recommended for younger readers due to mature content. Please be aware that this story is set in Australia and therefore uses Australian syntax and grammar.

While the influence of Chekhov in modern theater worldwide, and especially in America, has been immense, translations into English have tended to be too literary and have not communicated the full emotional power and precise attention to detail of Chekhov's Russian. Milton Ehre began translating Chekhov's plays to provide professional theaters with performance texts that capture the feel and rhythms of spoken, rather than written, language. Chekhov for the Stage is the first publication of his revised versions of The Three Sisters, Uncle Vanya, The Cherry Orchard, and The Sea Gull. Ehre's sensitive renderings of these classics make this volume the translation of choice for performers and directors, teachers, and the general reading public.

Bridget Jones, step aside. This journal documents the gradual, exotic dissension into madness and despair, when a Sober Life Coach is paired with a drug addicted billionaire who refuses to follow directions. Their dysfunctional relationship, ultimately heading for a one-way trip to tragedy. A perfect diabolical mix of humor, mutual hatred, and ass-kissing. Chloe knew of the recent trend of hiring Sober Coaches (as sober bodyguards) where they would accompany their client 24/7 to prevent them from relapsing. Chloe was well qualified. She had sobriety and what amounted to a psychology degree in bullshit and deception. Questions was, did she want to put her personal life on hold for an entire year so she could travel with someone who might potentially relapse, overdose, and die on her? Was it worth the risk? These questions could only be answered by accepting the job and the adventure. "It's 'The Devil Wears Prada' meets 'Girl, Interrupted'"
