About
Sam Dickson is charismatic, popular, and she's not about to let anything get in the way of her big plans for the future, not even the people she cares about. Ros Shew must be Sam's inverse: a loner, a wallflower, and uninterested in fame or popularity. But, both girls are wickedly smart and secretly long to be seen and understood.
Enter Christian Powell, the darling of the Northeastern soccer team, and Sam's ex and current pet project. He's not the best with words, but he makes up for it with his genuine big heart.
When Christian falls for Ros on first sight, he's desperate to get to know her. After a disastrous first interaction, Christian enlists the help of Sam who, after a bad review from Ros over her latest play, is only too happy to agree. But, things can't stay that simple forever. Ros starts to suspect that Christian is acting differently around her, and behind the scenes, Sam realizes that her own feelings for Ros are much more complicated than simple rivalry. With so much to lose if their secrets are discovered, all three teens are forced to confront not just their feelings, but themselves, to keep their fragile new relationships from completely falling apart.

Reviews
"[YA readers] will enjoy the banter, the secrets, and how this old plot gets a queer twist. Satisfying as the romantic ending may be, it's the main characters' finding their true selves that makes this sparkling rom-com stand out. With humor, romance, and unsuspected depth, this book is highly recommended for purchase for upper middle and high school libraries."
School Library Journal
"A funny, heartfelt debut with an absolutely swoon-worthy love triangle. Roasek's writing crackles with wit and authenticity, and Sam, Ros, and Christian will stay with you long after you've finished their story."
Nita Tyndall, award-winning author of Who I Was with Her
"Roasek dives in to the messy, confusing experience of queer adolescence with deep care, tenderness, and clarity. Teens are going to find a home in this book."
