Title: Love Notes
Author: Heather Gunter
Genre: YA Contemporary Romance
Release Date: May 2, 2013
Synopsis:
How do you cope when the people you care for
hurt you the most? When the way you feel on the outside, smothers you on the
inside. And when you are left to face your demons alone, will you learn that
only you have the power to overcome them? Charlie has never had it easy.
Between the constant moving and the incessant fat comments and jokes from her
father, her self-worth is nonexistent. Her reflection in the mirror shows her
nothing but a plain Jane. Music is the only thing that keeps her sanity in
check. Charlie catches the eye of the town star quarterback, Maverick. With her
curves, her brunette hair, and the voice of an angel, Maverick has never met
anyone like her. Everything that is different about Charlie just makes Maverick
like her more. Unfortunately, Charlie doesn’t see it herself. Proving it to her
may deem harder than he thinks, especially when tragedy strikes and tears them
apart. Now standing on her own two feet she may finally learn exactly who she
is, what’s she’s capable of and how very un plain Jane she really is.

Heather has given us an excerpt from "Love Notes"
I glance over at her shyly. “This is very new for
me. I have never been in this situation and I can’t believe of all people he
wants to date me.”
“Awww, so he asked you finally, huh? How do you
feel about that?”
“I like him, I really do but I’m worried. Like if
he gets to know me he may not like me--at all. Then I've put myself out there
only to be crushed and have my heart broken. I don’t think I can handle that. I
just don’t think he will like what he discovers if he gets to know me.” I stop
walking and just stand there and look at Tori. I can see the wheels turning in
her head.
“First of all when you say shit like that, it
pisses me off. It’s also a dig against me. Like I don’t have good taste when
picking out my friends. I don’t like stupid people. I like you and I knew I
would, the first time we talked. I’m not sure why you don’t think people aren’t
going to like you when they get to know you. Here is what I know, and hear me
out because I am not going to say this again. This may be harsh, but I’m always
going to be honest and tell you exactly how it is, 'cause that’s me and you
deserve that. Plus, that’s how I roll and I will always give it to you
straight. She peers at me before questioning, Got it?”
At this point all I can do is nod my head that I
get it. Man this chick means business when she gets all riled up. Mental note.
Never--piss--off--Tori--ever.
“First off, you are an amazing person. You’re
smart, pretty and you don’t even know it, which makes you even prettier in my
opinion. You’re absolutely not fat, so please get that out of your head. You
actually have a body, which most girls would kill for. I’m as flat in the boob
area as the Sahara desert and would love to have something up there, at least a
bra could hold up. Actually Charlie, if I swung that way, I would be on you
like white on rice. You would so be my type.” Of course, at this point she’s
laughing and I know we’re good. Tori laughing, is always a good sign.
“Har, har Tori. Okay so last time, promise. You
really think he likes me and likes what he sees?”
“Yep, sure do sugar plum. He looks at you like a
man looks at a steak. Or maybe like a lion looks at a gazelle. Or how a snake
looks at a mouse. I could go on and on you know.”
“So you're saying, he wants to eat me for
dinner?” I can’t help but start laughing.
