Publisher Description
From the author of the bestselling phenomenon, the Kissing Booth, comes another sizzling story about an overachieving girl who unknowingly kisses the one guy she shouldn’t the night before her new internship begins.
One summer internship. Two complete opposites. And a connection neither expected...
Annalise Sherwood has worked herself to the bone to get a place on a prestigious internship program and nothing is going to stop her now. Work hard, play later, that's her motto. She figures one night letting her guard down won't hurt, though - especially when it ends with the best kiss of her life.
But to Anna's horror, she discovers that the mystery guy she kissed that night is none other than Lloyd, the company CEO's son. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he's everyone's favorite guy and a total charmer, swanning around like he owns the place. And from the moment they meet again, he rubs Anna up the wrong way.
As the summer and the internship wane on, Lloyd seems to be finding any excuse to annoy Anna, and she's not afraid to give it right back to him. But when a lot of late night working brings them unexpectedly closer, she begins to wonder if there's more to him than she originally thought..
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Days before starting an intense summer internship at the London-based Arrowmile electric vehicle manufacturer, ambitious 19-year-old Annalise Sherwood, who doesn't "believe in love," meets charismatic Lloyd, who's a " ‘love at first sight' kind of guy." Despite a quick connection and an amazing kiss, they part without making plans to stay in touch. But on her first day at Arrowmile, Annalise runs into Lloyd, who turns out to be the CEO's son. To avoid distractions and the appearance of impropriety, Annalise refuses to date him. Even still, they end up hanging out together constantly anyway and, eventually, Annalise must untangle her priorities—and her feelings—or risk losing her opportunity to obtain everything she's ever wanted. Though frothy on the surface, this seemingly straightforward workplace rom-com by Reekles (Beach Cute) digs into deeper examinations of caregivers and their actions' effects on teens, as evidenced through Annalise's drive to succeed to spite her absentee work-obsessed mother and Lloyd's desire to escape his father's expectations to chart his own course. The friction between the white-cued leads works to fuel their rivalry and slow-burning relationship in this satisfying and predictable romance. Ages 12–up.
