Opposites attract in this funny and heartfelt middle school enemies-to-crushes story as two tweens are forced to put aside their differences and plan the best school fundraiser ever!

Carly Keller is the ultimate planner. Every day is mapped out to the minute; even her showers are planned. Armed with her schedules and to-do lists, Carly is an unstoppable force, determined to earn a 4.0 and become president of the Student Government Association next year.

But when soccer star TJ Price joins the SGA, all of Carly’s plans go right out the window. TJ is disruptive and unprepared, and couldn’t care less about his grades. Worst of all, he charms their classmates and is quickly offered the position of SGA treasurer, which means he and Carly will have to partner up to plan the school’s annual fundraiser. At first it’s a disaster, but as they spend more time together, Carly begins to wonder if there’s more to TJ than meets the eye.

This endearing novel perfectly captures the trials and tribulations of navigating middle school, especially the unexpected fluttery feelings that come with a first crush and a first kiss!
