Overview
Perfect for fans of Elise Bryant and Katie Cotugno, this fake-dating YA rom-com from Kelsey Rodkey set at a high school election shows that in matters of the heart, you have to elect to be yourself. Ella knew transferring to a new school wouldn’t be easy. The first day, while defending her sister, Ella makes an enemy out of the student council president and lands in detention. Swearing revenge on him, Ella will stop at nothing to unseat him—even calling for a redo election in which she’s the only one brave enough to run against him. As a new student, Ella isn’t sure she can secure the votes until she meets unfailingly flirtatious Patrick and hears his wild idea to help her. He’ll pretend to be her boyfriend and show their classmates that she and her ideas for the school aren’t so bad. It’s like something out of her sister’s fan fiction. But when their fake romance starts feeling too real, and Patrick’s true motives for their arrangement come to light, Ella has to decide what’s more important: Patrick or the polls.

Reviews
"Praise for LAST CHANCE BOOKS: ""This enemies-to-lovers romance includes a business rivalry, a deadbeat mom, and a last-gasp attempt to save a family store... A solid rom-com."" -- Kirkus Reviews ""The You've Got Mail-style romance is well-executed in this debut."" -- Publishers Weekly ""Rooted as much in family as it is in cute banter, book nerdery, and sexual tension... You've Got Mail for teens."" -- Booklist ""Madeline is quick-witted, bright, and passionate... a lighthearted page-turner."" -- School Library Journal"
""Refreshingly, Ella is described as both fat and desirable. The writing is strongest during the swoonworthy scenes, which are dripping in romantic tension. The plot moves along at a nice pace, and the ending doesn’t disappoint. Delivers on genre must-haves while successfully challenging outdated conventions."" — Kirkus Reviews Praise for LAST CHANCE BOOKS: ""This enemies-to-lovers romance includes a business rivalry, a deadbeat mom, and a last-gasp attempt to save a family store...

Author Information
Kelsey Rodkey is a burrito lover, banter enthusiast, and young adult writer, who strives to create the stories she lacked as a teenager. Before starting her job as a communications coordinator, she helped a British film crew make a documentary about a dog grooming expo and was an extra in a music video as a girl who couldn't stop playing with her hair. She lives a few minutes from the capital of Pennsylvania, which a lot of people think is Philadelphia. Last Chance Books is her debut novel.
