Cameron Bates (Cam) could have almost any girl at Franklin High School...except for the one he wants. Unfortunately Bebe seems to be immune to his flirty charm and good looks, which means one of two things: a) she's completely oblivious to how he feels, or b) she's just not into him. If that's the case, declaring his love would be disastrous for their friendship. Bianca Barnes (Bebe) has a huge problem: the universe hates her. Every time she admits feelings for a boy, he ends up falling for her sweet, popular, and beautiful sister Beth.

Cameron Bates (Cam) could have almost any girl at Franklin High School...except for the one he wants. Unfortunately Bebe seems to be immune to his flirty charm and good looks, which means one of two things: a) she's completely oblivious to how he feels, or b) she's just not into him. If that's the case, declaring his love would be disastrous for their friendship. Bianca Barnes (Bebe) has a huge problem: the universe hates her. Every time she admits feelings for a boy, he ends up falling for her sweet, popular, and beautiful sister Beth.

Amber McCloud’s dream is to become cheer captain at the end of the year, but it’s an extra-tall order to be joyful and spirited when the quarterback of your team has been killed in a car accident. For both the team and the squad, watching Robbie get replaced by newcomer Jack Walsh is brutal. And when it turns out Jack is actually short for Jaclyn, all hell breaks loose. Amber tries for unity, but it quickly becomes clear that she's only got a future on the squad and with her friends if she helps them take Jack down. Just one problem: Amber and Jack are falling for each other.

Bryna feels his eyes on her. Hot, seductive, enticing. He's at least 10 years older than her 17 years, and he knows exactly what he's doing to her with that look. Walking away would be the smart thing to do...but she can't. Not that first night when he takes her home and claims her body. Not when he shows up in her life again with expensive gifts to win her trust. Not even when she's falling for him, and everything else is falling apart....

Jude Sinclair here, hockey player for the Bellevue Bullies and lover of all ladies. Hockey's in my blood, and not to sound full of myself, but I'm good at it...really good. The draft is within my reach - it's mine to take - but that's not the only reason people know my name. They know me because of my way with women. They know the score, and I aim to please. I just tend to stay away from repeat performances. In other words I don't do relationships beyond my family and friends.

Liam "Mr. Popular" Carter will always be the closest thing to the "walking plague" in my eyes. His cockiness seeps through his every move, and no matter how many state championships he wins with the basketball team, he will forever be a "loss" to me. Because he's my older brother's best friend, I'm forced to tolerate him, and he's forced to tolerate me. In fact, unless my brother is around, we happily ignore each other every chance we get. It wasn't always this way, though....

yet again just awesome
mark I can't say it enough, I love your stories an the way you pull a person into the stories. even my 2nd best author Raymond E Fiest doesn't pull you into the stories as you do . maybe it's because I grew up a closet bisexual male in the 50's 60's 70's an 80's. I'm an old man now alone an feeling unwanted an am going through health an legal problems, but your stories have taken me back to a time in my life I wish I could relive. an through your stories I have. most have really hit close to home on me so much so I cry an then get excited an feel the love of my boyfriend back then. I just wish you would be honored to write my story an tell it like only you know how

Coming of Age Exhibited Extraordinary Well in this Mark Roeder Novel
I’m quite fond of Mark A. Roeder’s novels, and have listened to at least a dozen here on Audible. While the narrator from book to book is rarely the same, the quality writing is evident throughout.
In “Beautiful”, you have a story that incurs a kind of tragedy, which the character and his friends and family learn to deal and cope with. The characters have personality, and of course there’s a bit of promiscuousness as there always is with Mark Roeder’s books.
For me, the coolest part of this particular Audible production was the use of actual classical music audio samples! We heard “Claire de Lune” by Debussy, “Nocturne in E-Flat” by Chopin, among many others that were incorporated into the storyline; it was a very cool addition that helps to introduce a very important character later on in the book.
Like many great books, you get conflict, trial and strife, heartbreak, romance, and tragedy. I encourage any young person to young adult, whether they’re LGBT, an ally, or just enjoys a good read/listen.
