Descrição da editora
The snark and instant chemistry of Better Than the Movies meets the indulgent summer fun and family hijinks of The Summer of Broken Rules in this compulsively readable rom-com from Alex Light, author of The Upside of Falling.
Jackie Myers is a fraud. Or she might be a genius—the jury’s still out.
The thing is, she secretly runs pleasebreakmyheart, a gone-viral account aimed at breaking hearts and ending relationships…. And she just used it to break up her insufferable eternal nemesis's picture-perfect relationship.
Wilson is the buttoned-up, type A assistant manager of her nightmares—but it turns out he’s also, apparently, a really great boyfriend.
So with her conscience (and paycheck) on the line, Jackie decides there’s only one thing to do: She’s going to help Wilson win his ex-girlfriend back. Which should be easy, considering Jackie hates him…right?
Enemies to Lovers: She's a chaotic frog mascot, he's her by-the-book boss. He's determined to hate her… until he needs her help to win back his ex.Witty Banter: Packed with the laugh-out-loud dialogue and hilarious situations that fans of contemporary teen romance devour.Summer Romance: Set during one long, hot summer in a small New York town where everyone knows your business—especially when you're trying to fix the relationship you secretly destroyed.Grumpy x Sunshine: He's all spreadsheets and schedules; she runs on chaos and candy. Their scheme to reunite him with his ex might just prove they're perfect for each other.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
High school graduate Jackie works at Monte's Magic Castle to save up for a road trip from N.Y. to California to drop her bestie off at film school. Her once manageable gig as a waitress is ruined when Jackie's sworn enemy, assistant manager Wilson, demotes her to the low-paying and demeaning job of costumed party frog. Her only solace is hanging out with her older sisters Jillian and Julie and updating her blog, which she uses to "shitpost whatever thoughts come to my head." When Jackie starts posting about her sisters' relationship advice and she accidentally encourages Wilson's girlfriend to dump him via letter, her blog goes viral. Jackie decides to use Wilson's misery to her advantage and vows to help him win back his girlfriend in exchange for a promotion. But as the two work together, Jackie sees a new side of Wilson, igniting an undeniable spark. Though the push and pull of the love interests' enemies-to-lovers dynamic occasionally wears thin, their witty banter, written by Light (Meet Me in the Middle), endears in this sweet romance with underlying themes of self-discovery and enduring friendship. Main characters are white cued. Ages 13–up.
