<b>A <i>USA TODAY</i> and <i>New York Times</i> bestseller</b><br> <br><b>Perfect for fans of Kasie West and Jenn Bennett, this “sweet and funny” (Kerry Winfrey, author of <i>Waiting for Tom Hanks</i>) teen rom-com follows a hopelessly romantic teen girl and her cute yet obnoxious neighbor as they scheme to get her noticed by her untouchable crush.</b><br><br>Perpetual daydreamer Liz Buxbaum gave her heart to Michael a long time ago.
