Not That Kind of Girl

Not That Kind of Girl by Siobhan Vivian
Teen Zone New Fiction- Main Level– VIVIAN

Natalie has worked hard all through high school and it is finally senior year. Everything is going to be perfect: she was elected (in a harsh battle) student council president, has earned the respect of a well admired teacher, and her best friend Autumn has stuck by her side. She has lived out her high school days by not going to parties, ignoring guys and not having many close friends. She is determined to be a successful powerful woman who is independent and always in control. Things start to change when she takes Spencer under her wings. Natalie used to babysit Spencer once upon a time and now she wants to make sure Spencer goes through high school making the right decisions. Spencer has another plan; she wants the help of Natalie but she does not want to sacrifice who she is. Spencer is a freshman who is very confident in herself and her sexuality. Natalie and Spencer disagree on how to be a strong woman without acting or looking overly sexual. Natalie is determined to change Spencer but realizes that she would have to go it alone because her faithful friend Autumn has decided to actually enjoy her senior year and socialize with other classmates. Natalie’s own strength is being tested when the unthinkable happens: she starts falling for the “bad boy”, who really is not that bad. Natalie goes through a lot of emotions and hurdles to realize that you can still be a strong woman with beliefs but still have time carved out for friends, boyfriends and fun.
