Title: All That’s Been Said
Author: Emma Doherty
Genre: Contemporary Romance
About All That’s Been Said:
Izzy Kavanagh hates her new life in
the US; that much she’s made obvious. She’s done everything she can to alienate
her twin, Ethan, and to prove she doesn’t want to be there.
She’s certainly succeeded.
Perhaps a little too much.
Suddenly the idea of having her brother
hate her isn’t what she wants. Knowing her mother would be ashamed of her
behaviour weighs on her mind, and the idea of having someone who cares about
her isn’t so bad after all. Then there’s her brother’s best friend, Finn. No
matter how much she wants to ignore him and pretend she doesn’t care about his
opinion, he always seems to be there, and it’s getting harder and harder to act
like she’s indifferent to him.
But the damage has been done, and now
all she can do is count down the days until she’s allowed to return to the UK
and forget all about her time in the US.
That’s what she’s
wanted all along…right?

Exclusive Excerpt:
“Hello, Izzy.”
I look up from my locker and see Benson Montgomery there.
“Hi?” I reply, looking at the guy who randomly asked me out
on a date when I’d just moved here. I don’t really have an opinion on Benson
either way. He just sort of swans around the school with his preppy crew,
looking down on anyone who doesn’t drive a car that costs over twenty thousand
dollars and looking around to see who notices him. On principal, I should
despise him, but I don’t care enough to do that. If you ask me, he cares too
much about how other people perceive him and this image he’s trying to portray
in order for me to dislike him too much. Anyone who cares so deeply about what
others think about them is seriously lacking in self-confidence.
“I was wondering if you’re planning on attending the
Rosemary Gala this weekend?”
Rosemary Gala? Why does this ring a bell?
He must read my blank expression. “Your grandmother
organised it? It’s to raise money for the children’s hospital.”
That’s right. “No.”
He looks surprised. “No you’re not going?”
“No, I’m not going.”
“But my mother assured me you were. She spoke to your
grandmother last week.”
That would explain all the emails and messages I’ve been
getting from her. I haven’t even bothered to read them. “Well my grandmother is
delusional if she thinks I’m going to voluntarily spend time with her.”
His jaw falls open. Clearly he wasn’t expecting that. “Well
that’s a shame…I was going to offer to escort you as your date…” He lets the
sentence linger as though his offer might change my mind.
“Still not going.”
He looks insulted. “You know, Izzy, I’m actually willing to
overlook your recent transgressions and take you on a date.”
What the hell? “My recent transgressions?”
“Yes,” he says irritably. “That business with Craig
McGarretty—I don’t know how someone like you would even consider going there.
And honestly? It sounds like you’re rather lacking in friendships of any kind
at the moment, so I would seriously reconsider my offer if I were you.”
What an absolute dick.
“You know what, Benson?” He straightens up and steps
slightly closer to me. I think the stupid idiot actually thinks I’m going to
agree with him. “Even if every single person on the face of this earth stopped
talking to me, I still wouldn’t be caught dead on a date with you. Now leave.
Me. Alone.”
He blinks in total astonishment, but I don’t wait to see if
he has anything else to say to me because I see Paul in the distance. I slam my
locker and hurry to catch up with him.
“Hey,” he says as I fall into step at his side.
“Do you know Benson Montgomery?” I ask.
“Yeah,” he hesitates. “I mean I know who he is. I’ve never
spoken to him.”
“Well he’s a weirdo,” I tell him. “Stay away.”
He grins back at me, and we exit through the main hallway
and walk down the stairs before heading to the junior parking lot.
“How was your day?” Paul asks.
“Eventful,” I tell him, and he smiles broadly back at me.
Something tells me he already knows what went down between me and Evie, and I’m
guessing he’ll be pretty pleased about it. He’s incredibly loyal, and Rachel is
one of his friends. He won’t like what Evie did.
I open the passenger door to Paul’s car and swing my bag in.
“Um, Izzy?”
I look over at Paul, and he’s looking at something in the
distance. I turn my head to see what it is and immediately want to scream.
What the hell? Apparently today is about to get even
more eventful.
“What are they doing here?”
Craig McGarretty is parked up across the street from the
student parking lots, not on school property (he’s made sure of that) but
wearing his letterman jacket, as are all the buddies he brought along with him.
My head turns back towards the school just as Ethan, Finn,
and several of their teammates stroll out of the main entrance. They’re
laughing at something and standing around chatting. They haven’t noticed them
yet.
“Wait here,” I tell Paul, already striding towards Craig.

Genre: Contemporary Romance
About All That’s Left:
Izzy Kavanagh’s life falls apart when
her mother dies. She is forced to move to the US and live with her absent father,
who thinks money is the answer to every problem, and her twin brother Ethan,
who she has barely spoken to in years.
She hates everything about the move.
She hates that she’s forced to finish high school even though she’s already
completed it in the UK. She hates that her father is controlling her and
threatening to take away her inheritance if she doesn’t do as he says, even
though he’s barely there and couldn’t care less about her. She hates that
everybody already has an opinion on her based on her family name.
But what she hates above all else is
having to see her brother every day in his perfect life where everybody
worships him, because he chose this life over her and her mum.
And for that, she’ll never forgive
him.
