She Gets the Girl meets Do Revenge in this fun and flirty young adult sapphic rom-com about two teens who want revenge on the flaky popular girl they’re both crushing on.
All is fair in love and revenge...
Cynical but sensitive Beau Carl has been secretly hooking up with the ultra-popular Maia Moon – but she isn't sure if Maia has feelings for her. When Beau shows up at a party and sees Maia about to kiss another girl, Beau is heartbroken.
Sweet, inexperienced Charm Montgomery is ecstatic when Maia’s flirty behaviour leads to them almost kissing at a party. Almost - because the kiss is interrupted. And when Maia accepts an elaborate promposal from her douchey, popular ex-boyfriend just a few days later, Maia is heartbroken too.
There’s only one thing for them to do – get her back.
As Beau coaches Charm into getting Maia to fall in love with her – with plans on breaking Maia’s heart in return – Beau and Charm start to grow closer too. But are either of them ready to let go of their scheme to take a chance on something a little sweeter – and scarier – than revenge?
A gorgeous sapphic summer rom-com for fans Rachael Lippincott & Alyson Derrick, Casey McQuiston and Becky Albertalli.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Two high school seniors scheme against a heartbreaker classmate in this biting collaboration from Cole (Ariel Crashes a Train) and Woodfolk (Louder than Words). While makeup influencer Maia is "on a break" from her relationship with rugby captain Tatum, she secretly makes out with Beau, the drummer of a band on the verge of a big break. When Beau then sees Maia make a move on her tutor, Charm, before accepting Tatum's promposal, Beau recruits Charm to teach Maia that "she can't just play with people's hearts." Grumpy loner Beau instructs "cotton-candy human" Charm on how to win Maia's love with the end goal of dumping her at prom. Though their plan progresses smoothly, Beau and Charm each contend with drama at home. Beau's older sister and bandmate insists Beau prioritize college over music, while Charm navigates conflicting feelings about her absent parents reentering her life. The authors deploy classic rom-com tropes to present a flirty offering that features fully fleshed-out characters, low-stakes conflict, and witty banter. The protagonists are intersectionally diverse. Ages 14–up. Agents: (for Cole) Patrice Caldwell, Caldwell Agency; (for Woodfolk) Beth Phelan, Gallt & Zacker Literary.
