(3) YA Fifteen-year-old romance enthusiast Fancy pretends to date her crush, Rahim, to snag an invite to the couples-only high school party of the year. While obsessing over the party, however, she manages to lie to and alienate Rahim; her best friend; and her strict Haitian parents. Luckily, Fancy manages to smooth things over in time for the rom-com ending of her dreams. Fancy’s enthusiastic, funny, and self-deprecating narration will endear her to readers who’ll root for her through her many missteps.
