Booklist - 04/01/2025 Being a teenager is hard enough, but when you add in being a freshman in high school and experiencing love at first sight? The indignities never end! Pacy Mercado and Cecil Holloway fall into a crush with each other the second they meet, awkwardly, in the nurse’s office on the first day of high school. After being thrown together to plan the freshman formal, their crushes deepen, but they’re each unsure if they will be able to overcome the obstacles to get together. Between allergic reactions, questionable advice from friends and family, and their own insecurities, Pacy and Cecil will have to work hard to make their love a reality. This charming early YA novel, cowritten by award-winning middle-grade authors Kelly and Mbalia, occupies a much-needed space on the shelf as it features younger teenagers. Written in dual third-person point of view, it will have teens of all ages busting a gut laughing at the protagonists’ antics. A refreshingly honest look at the beauty—and embarrassment—of love. - Copyright 2025 Booklist.
