Kurzbeschreibung

Perry makes a strong first impression, from her white-girl dreadlocks to her uncensored opinions.

When she combs out her dreads on a whim, she catches the eye of a cute guy who?s a regular at The Whistle, the diner where she works as a waitress. He mistakes Perry for someone completely different: the girl of his dreams.

Perry tries to become that girl.

But it?s so hard to be normal.

And eyebrow piercings are so cute.

~

With her mother down in LA recording her comeback album, Perry?s in charge of the family household, and things are going to change. She starts with paint colors and moves on to doling out retributive punishments for her fifteen-year-old brother.

What Perry really wants, though, is her first boyfriend. She?s eighteen, and it?s about time!

Boyfriend candidates include: the cute but quiet restaurant regular, the all-too-willing coworker, or the outgoing artist who?s eager to whip off his clothes and model. One of these guys loves Perry exactly how she is, but how can she tell which one?

~

Smart Mouth Waitress, like the first book in the Life in Saltwater City series, Practice Cake, is also set in Vancouver, BC, Canada, and features an 18-year-old protagonist.

Each book in the series is a stand-alone novel with different main characters.

?One of my top 5 for 2011! I'll admit I was drawn to the cover and the premise before it was even released. But wow once I started reading I couldn't put down!? Elizabeth Reyes -Author of The Moreno Brothers Romance series

"Making the choice between what is expected and what the heart needs to survive, this wonderful young adult novel tests the bonds of friendship, the strength of family, and the desires of young love. It pulled my heart in all the right places." Tina Reber - Author of Love Unscripted

"I grew up in the Southern US, and clearly so did Abbi Glines. It's disappointingly rare for someone to nail the Southern temperament, even when they live there. The Vincent Boys proves it knows the landscape quicker than a duck on a Junebug." Tammara Webber- Author of Between the Lines series

Being the good girl isn?t all it?s cracked up to be. Ashton Gray has grown weary of playing the part to please her parents, and to be worthy of the town?s prince charming, Sawyer Vincent. Maybe That?s why she?s found herself spending time with Sawyer?s cousin, Beau, while he?s away for the summer camping with his family. Beau is nothing like her perfect boyfriend. He?s the sexiest guy she?s ever seen, dangerous in ways she?s only day dreamed about, and the one guy she should stay away from.
Beau never envied Sawyer his loving parents, his big nice home, or his position as quarterback. He loves him like a brother. Which is why he's tried everything in his power to keep his distance from Sawyer?s girlfriend. Even if he has loved her since the age of five, Ashton is Sawyer?s girl, so therefore she?s off limits. But when Sawyer leaves for the summer, Ashton, the one girl Beau would move Heaven and Earth for, decides she wants to get into trouble. Stabbing the one person who?s always accepted him and stood by him in the back, is the cost of finally holding Ashton Gray in his arms. Is she worth losing his cousin over?.... Hell Yeah.
