'How to Ruin a Summer Vacation'

Leaving Chicago to go to Israel with her estranged father is the last thing sixteen-year-old Amy wants to do—until she meets handsome but aloof Avi, an eighteen-year-old soldier in the Israeli army.

'How to Ruin My Teenage Life'

Can a guy truly be your boyfriend if he lives in a different country? Avi might think it's possible, but Amy's edgy classmate Nathan wants a chance to prove him wrong...

'How to Ruin Your Boyfriend's Reputation'

Signing up for a ten-day boot camp at the Israeli military base where Avi is stationed might not have been Amy's greatest idea—especially since Nathan is there, too.
