A fun, witty, light-hearted romantic comedy—The Rosie Project, for teens Seventeen-year-old Amalia Yaabez and Ezra Holtz couldn’t be more different. They’ve known (and avoided) each other their whole lives; she unable to stand his buttoned-up, arrogant, perfect disposition, and he unwilling to deal with her slacker, rule-breaking way of moving through the world.
When they are unhappily paired on an AP Psychology project, they come across an old psychological study that posits that anyone can fall in love with anyone, if you put them through the right scientific, psychological steps. They decide to put that theory to the test for their project, matching couples from different walks of high school life to see if science really can create love.
As they go through the whirlwind of the experiment, Ezra and Amalia realize that maybe it’s not just the couples they matched who are falling for each other . . .
From the author of the acclaimed "The Art of French Kissing" comes a fun, witty, lighthearted romantic comedy--"The Rosie Project" for teens. 5 1/2x 8 5/16.5/16.
Praise for The Art of French Kissing"Fun, flirty, foodie, and filled with way more heat than your average kitchen,
The Art of French Kissing has all the ingredients for a perfect summer romance!" —Dahlia Adler, author of
Behind the Scenes"I ate up this hate-to-love-and-back-again romance! If you love
Top Chef but wish more of the show was focused on the romance and rivalries behind the scenes, you'll eagerly devour
The Art of French Kissing. Like the best sweet and savory pastries, Carter and Reid deliver both sugar and spice." —Amy Spalding, author of
The Summer of Jordi Perez (and the Best Burger in Los Angeles)"This meet-cute romance stands out thanks to the nuanced characters and subtle treatment of bigger issues such as race, gender, and money (Carter's family flirts with poverty). Carter's insecurities about her culinary skill will resonate with any girl who has aspirations in a field dominated by males, and a sensitive sex scene models for readers what a consensual relationship looks like. A full cast of diverse characters, including Indian-American competitors, Carter's lesbian best friend, and Reid himself, who identifies as queer, are portrayed three-dimensionally, but Shrum's (
How to Make Out, 2016, etc.) greatest accomplishment may be the intricate and mouthwatering descriptions of each dish. A thoughtful and delicious romance." —
