Rachel Riley Series by Joanna Nadin

My quest to find 'the one' starts right now! This year I will utterly not snog random posh boys with congenital acne but will save myself for long-haired creative type with interest in tragicness and with musical potential i.e. Justin Statham. Though am not sure Justin has realised yet that I am 'the one' for him.

Making plan with Scarlet to deal with post-break-up trauma. We are going to channel anger into something positive and have new mission 1. Not to moon about over exes but to embrace single life. 2.

To remember that we alone are responsible for our own happiness. Scarlet is right... moreMaking plan with Scarlet to deal with post-break-up trauma.

Carpe diem i.e. seize the day! Which means utter experimenting as far as snogging is concerned. Am never going to find the ONE if just keep having accidental liaisons with Jack or ill-advised flirtations with Justin. The ONE is out there somewhere. Maybe even right under my nose. I just need to be open-minded. And open-armed. And possibly open-mouthed. Life, as they say, is what you make it. And am definitely, no doubt about it, going to make mine fabulous. Starting now... moreCarpe diem i.e. seize the day! Which means utter experimenting as far as snogging is concerned.
