Nav's Foolproof Guide to Falling in Love

Giving the new girl lessons in romance so she can woo your best friend couldn’t possibly go wrong…right? Perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli and Casey McQuiston, this romantic comedy from Jessica Lewis stars a girl who may be an expert at flirting, but has a lot to learn about falling in love.

Nav knows how to flirt, but she also knows love is a messy losing proposition. As proof, her best friend, Hallie, is constantly getting her heart broken. And when Hallie goes to her boring academic camp this summer, Nav won’t be there to protect her for the first time in their lives.

So when shy new girl Gia asks Nav for help getting Hallie’s attention, Nav finds a way to make it work for her. In exchange for lessons in romance, Gia, whose mom runs the camp, will help get Nav a spot there. And if her coaching works, maybe Hallie can date someone who will treat her right for a change.

Except…Gia’s not just bad at flirting, she’s terrible. She’s too anxious to even speak to Hallie, never mind date her. Training Gia quickly becomes a disaster. Worse, Gia’s every awkward joke and catastrophic fake date makes Nav like Gia a little bit more…and not in a friend way. Which puts a really, really big wrench in Nav’s plans. As Nav’s feelings change, she’ll have to decide what’s more important: sticking to her plan for the perfect summer or taking a chance on learning more about love than she ever expected.

Jessica Lewis has a degree in English literature and animal science (the veterinarian plan did not work out). She began her publishing career in horror with Bad Witch Burning, a Bram Stoker nominee for Superior Achievement in a Young Adult Novel, and Monstrous. She also writes cute middle grade rom-coms under the pseudonym Jazz Taylor, which include Cool Cat, Meow or Never, and Starting from Scratch. Jessica is from Alabama, where she writes full-time and lives with her hilarious grandmother.
