This is the second title in a paperback original series about a girl whose classic literary crushes manifest in real life, this time told from Rory Campbell’s point of view and inspired by the timeless classic Little Women. Rory likes Toby, but Toby likes Rory’s sister Merrilee, even though Merrilee is already dating Toby’s friend Fielding—and it’s all about to get even more complicated at Reginald R. Hero High . . . where our leading ladies’ romantic fantasies come true, often with surprising consequences. Perfect for younger readers of YA or older readers of middle grade, this squeaky-clean series is sure to charm any reader who’s ever had a book boyfriend of her own.  

"This light rom-com holds heartbreak, surprises, and significant Campbell family dynamics that will hit home with many teens." - Booklist

"The Campbell girls' (mis)adventures at Hero High pick up without missing a beat in this follow-up to Bookish Boyfriends (2018) . . . Rory's story will ring a chord with die-hard romantics." - Kirkus Reviews

"Rory is a relatable narrator. She faces struggles with school, meeting new people, and the anxiety of feeling not good enough . . . Recommend to fans of the first novel and fans of realistic romance." - School Library Journal
