The brilliant new romcom from 2020 CILIP Carnegie medal nominee and New York Times bestseller, Robin Talley. ************************************************************* Its easy not to fall in love, right? Melody McIntyre, stage manager extraordinaire, has a plan for everything. What she doesnt have? Success with love. Every time she falls for someone during a school performance, both the romance and the show end in catastrophe. So, Mel swears off love until their upcoming production of Les Mis is over. Of course, Mel didnt count on Odile Rose, rising star in the acting world, auditioning for the spring performance. And she definitely didnt expect Odile to be sweet, and funny and care as much about the plays success as Mel. Which means that Melody McIntyres only plan now is trying desperately not to fall in love. A hilarious, heartwarming and empowering read, perfect for fans of Pitch Perfect, Love Simon and To All the Boys Ive Loved Before. ************************************************************* Praise for Robin Talleys previous novels: The main characters are terrific in what is a moving novel.
