How (Not) to Find a Boyfriend
by Allyson ValentineA funny and smart romantic comedy about getting the guy. . . and finding yourself. Sophomore Nora Fulbright is the most talented and popular new cheerleader on the Riverbend High cheer squad. Never mind that she used to be queen of the nerds--a chess prodigy who answered every question first, aced every test and repelled friends at every turn--because this year, Nora is determined to fully transition from social pupa to full blown butterfly, even if it means dumbing down her entire schedule. But when funny, sweet and very cute Adam moves to town and steals Nora's heart with his untra-smarts and illegally cute dimple, Nora has a problem. How can she prove to him that she's not a complete airhead? Allyson Valentine has created a story so full of enamoring characters, pitch-perfect humor, and delightfully frustrating romance that it will leave you cheering. Great for fans of Stephanie Perkins's Anna and the French Kiss, Susanne Colosanti and Sarah Dessen. Praise for HOW (NOT) TO FIND A BOYFRIEND "Great characters and plenty of plot twists and turns add to the appeal of this lighthearted love story." -Voice of Youth Advocates "In Valentine's sassy debut, readers will groan as Nora messes everything up, and may grow frustrated with her choices ("For a smart girl you've had a pretty solid run of stupid"), but if they relate to her plight, they will find her funny, too." -Booklist "Valentine offers a book about honoring the truth, following one's bliss, and being oneself that avoids being saccharine or overly prescriptive." -Publishers Weekly
