Crush series.
In the latest installment of this middle-school series based on the excitement and wonder of a new crush, Isabella meets Ryan on her spring break with her grandmother in Florida. Like the previous entries, this formulaic and predictable book focuses on the ups and downs of young romance between relatable characters. Light, easy, and appealing to tween girls looking for love.

Crush series.
It's summer break and type-A Lauren can't wait to snag her crush from the beach as her permanent boyfriend. Enter Operation Cell Phone, which is part of her master Love Plan, and also free-spirited new BFF Chrissy, who isn't. Generally relatable dialogue carries this breezy beach-read with a message: be true to yourself, and the rest will fall into place.
