The He's So/She's So Trilogy by Kieran Scott

Hey! :)






Today's book[s] are 'She's so dead to us', 'He's so not worth it', and 'This is so not happening', all part of the He's So/She's so trilogy. 

The first book follows a girl named Ally Ryan. Ally moved out of Orchard Hill, her former home as her father had "practically bankrupted all their friends". Two years after she moved out of Orchard Hill, her mother landed a job back at the site of their downfall. 
Here's the book description:
" When having money is all that matters, what happens when you lose it all?
Perfect, picturesque Orchard Hill. It was the last thing Ally Ryan saw in the rearview mirror as her mother drove them out of town and away from the shame of the scandal her father caused when his hedge fund went south and practically bankrupted all their friends. Friends that liked having trust funds and new cars and friends that didn’t like constant reminders they had been swindled. So it was adios, Orchard Hill. Thanks for nothing.

Now two years later, Ally’s mother has landed a job back in the site of their downfall. Despite Ally’s new low key, happy life, it’ll be back into the snake pit with the likes of Chloe Appleby and Hammond Ross.

But then there’s Jake Graydon. Handsome, wealthy, bored Jake Graydon. He moved to town after Ally left and knows nothing of her scandal, but does know that he likes her. And she likes him. So off into the sunset they can go, right? Too bad Jake’s friends have a problem with his new crush since it would mean he could make Ally Ryan happy. And if anyone deserves to be unhappy it’s her.

Ally was hoping to have left all the drama in the past but some things just can’t be forgotten. Aren’t there more important things than money?"

The second book, 'He's so not worth it' centres around Ally Ryan and her former friends, who pick on her and humiliate her. Then Jake Graydon lets her down. Then her father reappears again and acts like nothing ever happened. 
Here's the book description:
"In this sequel to SHE’S SO DEAD TO US, Ally Ryan finds that some things are just not worth the energy.
First her “friends” humiliate her. Then Jake lets her down. Again. Then her MIA father reappears and acts like nothing has changed. Then her mother wants to spend the entire summer at her new boyfriend’s beach house. Breaking point, meet Ally Ryan.

After the year she had, all Ally wants is to be let alone. Unfortunately, the Jersey Shore is not the place for privacy. And if she gets one more text about what Jake Graydon has been up to all summer . . .

Labor Day cannot come soon enough. "

In the final book, 'This is so not happening', Ally finds out Jake had an affair over the summer and got Chloe pregnant. Ally, however, is persistent in making her relationship with Jake work. 

Here's the book description:
"In this final book of the HE’S SO/SHE’S SO TRILOGY, Ally and Jake face their toughest challenges yet.

After their long summer apart, Ally and Jake were hoping for a drama free senior year. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like things will work out that way...again. 

It turns out that Chloe is pregnant and says that Jake is the father. Hammond is pissed at his best friend, but mostly can't believe that Ally would stay with Jake. But Ally is tired of being apart from Jake and is willing to make it work. But that is easier said than done when Jake starts blowing Ally off to go to doctor's appointments with Chloe and Ally joins the school play and meets a new cute guy.

But as graduation approaches, things get more complicated as new secrets come out and Ally realizes maybe Jake isn't the guy she thought he was. After everything they've been through can Ally and Jake get out of Orchard Hill with their relationship in tact?"

The trilogy is full of drama and love. I'd recommend these three books to 13-15 year olds. 

Until next time :)
