” In true rom-com fashion, artless Merri creates chaos in her first missteps in romance. A full cast of secondary characters create a chorus and support system as Merri takes charge of her story.  This meshing of romantic classics and modern-day relationships is over-the-top good fun for tween romantics.” ~ Kirkus


“Schmidt unapologetically places romance, and more romance, at the heart of this YA novel for younger teensSchmidt pits Romeo against a Mr. Darcy type in this romantic comedy (complete with Bridget Jones-like mishaps), whose heroine must open herself to the idea that the boy she least expects may turn out to be her real romantic hero.” ~ Publisher’s Weekly
