About this ebook
It all starts when Marisa picks up the wrong cell phone. When she returns it to Rene, she feels curiously drawn to him. But Marisa and Rene aren't exactly a match made in heaven. For one thing, Marisa is a chola; she's a lot of girl, and she's not ashamed of it. Skinny Rene gangles like a sackful of elbows and wears a calculator on his belt. In other words, he's a geek. So why can't Marisa stay away from him? Includes a glossary of Spanish words and phrases.
- Opposites Attract: She’s a tough chola who isn’t afraid of a fight. He’s a skinny geek who wears a calculator on his belt. It was never supposed to work.
- A Heartwarming Meet Cute: After Marisa gets in a fight defending a friend, she accidentally swaps cell phones with Rene. One phone call to get it back changes everything.
- Hispanic Teen Romance: A funny, authentic story full of heart and humor, featuring a glossary of the Spanish words and phrases that color Marisa’s world.
- Coming of Age: To be with Rene, Marisa transfers to a new school, ready to change her life. But standing up for what you believe in—and who you love—is never easy.
