| Publisher Description: Does the quality of a yearbook picture have the power to predict how a school year will turn out? Riley Houston, once deemed an ugly duckling and social pariah among her classmates, makes a splash in the big pond of Linwood Whaley High her freshman year. Gone are her braceface and haircut of doom as Riley faces her long-awaited chance at love with Brett Harvey: the school's swoon-worthy quarterback and her next-door neighbor who she's admired over the backyard fence for years. Riley's convinced she's about to score her first boyfriend, but when she recites a poem she wrote about Brett for her English assignment, her cousin's adorably awkward best friend takes the bait instead. Her plan of winning over Brett falls to the wayside as Riley tries to suppress her unintended yet budding crush on Carter Pickett. In a battle of heart and soul, Riley faces the decision to either fight for what she's always wanted, or be vulnerable and loved for the side of her she's always tried to hide. Lighthearted and full of southern sass, Can't Beat the Heart of a Carolina Girl is a clean young adult romance that may convince you having a high school sweetheart is still a possibility. |
