From Stealing Home author Becky Wallace comes a Devil Wears Prada-inspired YA romance, in which โnormal girlโ Maddie must repair the image of Major League Soccerโs bad boy to ace her internship. A perfect read for fans of Morgan Matson and Miranda Kenneally.
Maddie McPherson is sick of Normalโboth her hometown of Normal, Illinois and being the โnormalโ sibling. But when she lands a summer internship with a sports marketing firm, she finally has a chance to crawl out of her genius brotherโs shadow. Not to mention, a glowing letter of recommendation secure her admission to her dream college.
But Maddieโs nickname is โCalaMaddieโ for a reason, and when the company tasks her with repairing the image of teen soccer phenom Gabriel Fortunato, she wonders if sheโs set herself up for embarrassment. Gabriel is a tabloid magnet, whoโs best-known for flubbing Italyโs World Cup hopes. As Maddie works with him to develop โpleasant and friendlyโ content for social media, she also learns heโs thoughtful, multi-talented, and fiercely loyalโmaybe even to a fault. Falling for a footballer is exactly how CalaMaddie would botch this internship, but with the firm pressuring her to get the job done, perhaps her heart is worth risking?
