In a perfect world, sixteen-year-old Phoebe Martins’ life would be a book. Preferably a YA novel with magic and a hot paranormal love interest. Unfortunately, her life probably wouldn’t even qualify for a quiet contemporary.
But when Phoebe finds out that Dev, the hottest guy in the clarinet section, might actually have a crush on her, she turns to her favorite books for advice. Phoebe overhauls her personality to become as awesome as her favorite heroines and win Dev’s heart. But if her plan fails, can she go back to her happy world of fictional boys after falling for the real thing?
Isabel Bandeira grew up surrounded by trees and lakes in Southern New Jersey, right on the edge of the Pine Barrens. Her summers were always spent in Portugal, where the cathedrals, castles, and ancient tombs only fed her fairy tale obsession. Between all those influences and her serious glitter addiction, it wasn’t a surprise when she started writing stories of her own.
In her free time between writing and her day job as a Mechanical Engineer who designs and develops medical devices, she reads, dances, figure skates, and knits.
Isabel lives in New Jersey with her little black cat, too many books, and a closetful of vintage hats. She is represented by Carrie Howland of Empire Literary.
This one is full of cute moments for the reader at heart. I couldn't get enough of this one and I can't wait to check out the rest of the books. You will die of the quirk in this book!! I do want to say that the romance in this one is center stage and that worked out well for me. Even though I am WAY older than the MC I could still relate to her from when I was younger and it was a very light hearted read that I couldn't put down. If you want something to round out your summer then this one is it!! It won't disappoint you in any way other than it ends. But hey there is a book two!! So make sure to have it on hand!
