<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Sixteen-year-old Charlie has always been a tomboy. But when she accidentally becomes a makeup model, her newfound femininity draws her into an unknown social world, complete with guy troubles she's never had before.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>She's a tomboy. He's the boy next door.</p><p>With three older brothers, Charlotte Reynolds, aka Charlie, has always been more comfortable calling the shots on a basketball court than flirting with the opposite sex. So when her police officer dad demands she get a summer job to pay for the latest in a long line of speeding tickets, she's more than a little surprised to find herself working at a chichi boutique and going out with a boy who has never seen her tear it up in a pickup game. Charlie seeks late-night refuge in her backyard, talking out her problems with her neighbor and honorary fourth brother, Braden, sitting back-to-back against the fence that separates them. Braden may know her better than anyone. But there's a secret Charlie's keeping that even he hasn't figured out--she's fallen for him. Hard. She knows what it means to go for the win, but if spilling her secret means losing him for good, the stakes just got too high.</p><p><em>On the Fence</em> is a sweet and satisfying read about finding yourself and finding love where you least expect it. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>FOR sixteen-year-old Charlotte Reynolds, aka Charlie, being raised by a single dad and three older brothers has its perks.

But when it comes to being a girl, Charlie doesn't know the first thing about anything. So when she starts working at a chichi boutique to pay off a speeding ticket, she finds herself in a strange new world of makeup, lacy skirts, and BeDazzlers. Even stranger, she's spending time with a boy who has never seen her tear it up in a pickup game.</p><p>To cope with the stress of faking her way through this new reality, Charlie seeks late-night refuge in her backyard, talking out her problems with Braden by the fence that separates them. But their Fence Chats can't solve Charlie's biggest problem: she's falling for Braden. Hard. She knows what it means to go for the win, but if spilling her secret means losing him for good, the stakes just got too high.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"West's premise is a winner, and Addie is the kind of heroine readers would want as a best friend--loyal, unpretentious, and thoughtful....What truly makes West's story memorable, however, is Addie's wry humor...and the book's fascinating exploration of how life can change with one simple choice."--<em>Publishers Weekly</em> <strong>(starred review)</strong><br><br>"An antidote to dystopian and post-apocalyptic fiction, this Cinderella story is sweet and hopeful."--<em>Kirkus Reviews</em><br><br>"West's debut showcases riveting storytelling."--<em>Kirkus Reviews</em><br><br>The charming story is beautifully written, and the characters are well developed.
