When it comes to losing her virginity, seventeen-year-old Alex has every intention of waiting for "the one." Problem is, she's attracted to trouble. After a traumatic breakup leaves her emotionally scarred and therapy pushes her past her breaking point, Alex departs from her New Jersey hometown to stay with her cousin, Caleigh, in L.A. hoping to distance herself from boy trouble for the summer.

Enter, Elias King, seventeen-year-old whirlwind with a reputation for tearing through girls and leaving a string of broken hearts behind. Still reeling from a tragic accident that resulted in the death of his girlfriend, Elias relies on drugs, alcohol, and sex to drown his pain.

When Elias's addictions nearly leave him homeless, his brother offers him a place to stay at his girlfriend Caleigh's house, complete with a new roommate tailor-made to clean up his act. Once Alex and Elias find themselves sharing a space in Caleigh's tiny guest room, their night-and-day personality differences set them on the warpath.

Though the two try to deny their intense sexual attraction, a simple bet changes the game. Alex wagers she can keep him sober and one-night-stand free for the rest of the summer, while Elias bets he can steal her heart and seduce her in less than thirty days.

But if Elias loses, he has to spill the dark secret surrounding the death of his ex. If Alex fails, she has to reveal her virgin status to Elias. But she can't just tell him, she'll have to show him.

Cheater. Faker. Troublemaker. is a dual POV young adult contemporary novel complete at 80,000 words and is the first book in a series.

Absolutely Amazing! Has you hooked from the start!

One if my first stories I read once becoming a Wattpad . I can remember the day vividly, bored out of my mind and needing a fix for a four hour drive to Cincinnati. I saw Cheater.Faker.Troublemaker... and something just sparked one is of me. I said "why not," and as I told myself I was only going to read the first chapter to see what they story was like and about... and then one turned into two, two turned into twn.. and I was glued. This story is far more outstanding than a typical YA romance, this is real. This is raw, and this is not the stereotypical-- happily ever after. The way Jenny perfected each detail, word for word in each sentence, paragraph and chapter, is a unique technique, that any writer would envy. A young author that can work magic like no other when creating stories.. CFTM is a mental movie from the start to the ending. Absolutely Amazing! Thanks Again, Jenny. No doubt, this story will forever be at the top of my all time favorite list. Cannot wait to see more of your work!

Amazing!

As an avid listener of audiobooks, I love coming across new authors. This was fantastically done. The characters felt realistic while they went through the ups and downs of navigating through a relationship while dealing with your own issues was very well done. This book made me giggle and smile. At times it made me angry. And yes I will admit, it even made me cry. Isn't that what a good book should do?

Not at all what I expected and it's FANTASTIC!

Any additional comments?

Okay, I'll be honest. At first, I did judge this book by its cover (and its title) and thought I knew exactly what I was getting. Not that either the title nor the cover are bad, quite the contrary, in fact. They're both very appealing. But I did assume that Cheater, Faker, Troublemaker was yet another typical Bad Boy, YA story, the same sort we've all read at least 1000 times before. WELL, BOY WAS I WRONG!

At its heart, CFTM is the story of two very broken people, grappling with how to help each other put the pieces back together again. These characters are dancing around ghosts, running recklessly across a minefield, and it's so fascinating to witness them maneuver, or fail to maneuver, around the many obstacles in their path. I think what struck me the most about CFTM was that it sits very comfortably in the space between Literary Fiction and YA Lit, bringing together the best of both worlds. While the story is relatable and accessible as YA fiction, I was absolutely blown away by the lyrical, almost poetic writing the author often used, even to describe the tiniest of things, like: "She was his bubblegum girl, only fun until she lost her flavor." or "Straight vodka tasted like salvation. Like a liquid pill for the kind of pain I didn't know how to fix." There were also times when I literally laughed out loud and I'm a super-cynical reader so that's a really hard thing to get me to do. I'm so impressed with Ms. Rosen because what she's doing here is not just conveying a simple story, but taking you on a journey, and with two characters you actually care about. And boy, what a journey it is!

The actors also take this story to a whole new level, each bringing a certain amount of depth and pathos to their roles, especially Christine Lakin, who sounds so much like a teenage girl in her intonation, it's eerie. Aaron Landon is excellent as well.

Cheater, Faker, Troublemaker is well worth the time invested. It's such a breath of fresh air and definitely a must-listen, IMHO. I can't recommend it highly enough, especially to those who are tired of the same-old, same-old when it comes to Romance or YA Lit.

This book is amazing!

This book is the best, amazing, most emotional, funny and heartbreaking book I've ever read. Cheater, faker, trouble maker is my favourite book. I love the characters and how much emotion this books gives, the story is original and I can't wait for the second part to come out on audible.
