Perfect for fans of Lynn Painter and Jenny Han, this contemporary rom-com looks at what happens when the tomboy falls for the boy next door from acclaimed author Kasie West.
?Charlie Reynolds can win any game.
Raised by a single dad and three older brothers, she's used to outrunning, outscoring, and outwitting everyone in her life-including her longtime neighbor and honorary fourth brother, Braden-just to feel like one of the boys.
But she doesn't know the first thing about being a girl.
When she starts working at a boutique to pay off a speeding ticket, she finds herself in a strange world of makeup, lace, and BeDazzlers.
Boys seem to like the new, girly Charlie, but she's not so sure. At night, she starts talking to Braden through their shared fence. It's the only place she can be herself, whoever that is.
Then she starts falling for Braden. Hard. Charlie has always competed to win, but for the first time in her life, this isn't a game she can risk losing.
