About this audiobook
A popular guy and a shy girl with a secret become unlikely accomplices in midnight pranking and are soon in over their heads—with the law and with each other—in this sparkling standalone from New York Times bestselling author Anna Banks.
It’s been several years since Carly Vega’s parents were deported. Carly lives with her older brother, studies hard, and works the graveyard shift at a convenience store to earn enough to bring her parents back from Mexico.
Arden Moss used to be the star quarterback at school. He used to date popular blondes and have fun pranking with his older sister Amber. But now all that has changed, and Arden needs a new accomplice—especially one that his father, the town sheriff, will disapprove of.
All Carly wants is to stay under the radar and do what her family expects. All Arden wants is to not do what his family expects. When their paths cross, they each realize they’ve allowed their lives to be driven by the wishes of others. Just like real life, Carly and Arden’s journey toward their true hearts—and one another—is funny, romantic, and sometimes harsh.
