Playing House Series by JuliAngelFace

I had my first kiss and lost my virginity all in the same night. I’m worse than Jillian, beyond that. Oh my god, I slept with my best friend’s brother, who's my sister’s boyfriend. Me, a camper, slept with my camp counselor. If anyone finds out, I'm dead

Nominated

Status: In-complete.

I fell in love with this story. Normally readers find main characters that take part in morally wrong acts hard to read, however there is a certain degree of forbidden love and the delightful cliche of best friend's older brother that convincingly pulls you in and let's you like the characters. Adrienne doesn't go out of her way to steal her sister's boyfriend, it's one of those things you cannot prevent, not to mention even from the beginning I can't say I liked her sister, Heather, much.
JuliAngelFace hooks you into the story with an excerpt, slightly cheating, but it works. It sets the stage, it's a character re-wind (so I'm sat here in jail, this is how I ended up here or, like here, I'm pregnant, they want to know who the dad is, how to tell them it's my sister's boyfriend? How did I even end up here?)
I don't want to spoil the story too much, but with fairly short chapters it does tend to fly by with relatively few over-dramatic events and dull, dragging portions.
The down side to this story is that it's in-complete, at 36 chapters long it hasn't received an update since 2009 and so, I'm afraid to say, it's likely not be updated again. However, I enjoyed it so much that I felt it still deserved acknowledgement.
