Books like Lust (Seven Deadly Sins #1) by Robin Wasserman

In the bustling halls of a high school, thirteen‑year‑old Harper is a girl who has always known how to get what she wants—especially when it comes to her crush, Adam, the all‑American boy she adores. Her best friend Beth, though naturally kind and a little too dull for Harper’s taste, endears herself through their shared silliness. Kane, the charming local playboy, has a secret affection for Beth, yet Harper’s scheming plans keep her heart focused elsewhere. Miranda, feeling out of place yet determined, eyes Kane’s attention in hopes of changing her status. Among these familiar faces enters Kaia, the new student whose disruptive curiosity threatens to shake the status quo. Together, the group learns about friendship, competition, and the ups and downs that define adolescence. Set in a contemporary high‑school setting, *Lust* explores the complexities of adolescent relationships and the challenges of self‑identity.
