Publisher Description
An overachiever must decide if risking her heart by working with her former crush turned enemy is worth the reward in this snappy rom-com, perfect for fans of Tweet Cute and The Upside of Falling.
High school senior Autumn Reeves has been waitlisted at her dream school. Determined to move to the top of the list, she must find a way to stand out. When a promposal she planned for a friend has half the senior class asking for her help, a brilliant business idea that will look great on her application is born: Promposal Queen.
Autumn has no clue how to start a business, so she joins the Young Black Entrepreneurs group and finds herself face-to-face with Mekhi Winston, the boy whose unexpected freshman-year kiss—a kiss that meant everything to her and nothing to him—cost Autumn her best friend. He’s the only person with the experience to help her, but how can she possibly trust him?
With her dreams on the line, Autumn’s willing to risk it. After all, Mekhi could be a good business partner without being a guy she would ever let near her heart again.
But when working with Mekhi jeopardizes her only chance at rekindling a friendship with her ex-best-friend, and secrets long buried threaten to ruin Promposal Queen, another broken heart may be the least of her worries--her entire future is on the line.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Focused, driven Autumn Reeves, a high school senior in southeastern Michigan, has her heart set on attending Mercer School of Business at Great Lakes University in hopes of becoming an event planner. Autumn is convinced she'll be a shoo-in, especially since Mercer already awarded her a scholarship. After she's waitlisted, however, she schemes to grab Mercer's attention through her budding start-up, PROMposal Queen, a service for teens looking to make an event out of their prom-date ask. Except Autumn doesn't know how to start a business, so she joins her school's elite Young Black Entrepreneurs club and begrudgingly requests help from Mekhi Winston, her former best friend and freshman year crush with whom she had a disastrous falling-out. Mekhi agrees to assist, and word of PROMposal Queen spreads quickly, garnering positive reviews and a swiftly building client list. But while Autumn can't deny that her and Mekhi's business partnership works well, she's not sure if she can move on from their hurtful past. Balancing romantic, lighthearted fare with the often anxiety-inducing drama of college admissions, debut author Garrett presents an endearing second-chance love story brimming with grand depictions of devotion, forgiveness, and friendship. Ages 12–up.
