Ros Demir Is Not the One
by Leyla BrittanRos will do whatever it takes to get the guy. At least… she thinks she will.Sixteen-year-old Ros is a go-getter. When she wants something, she makes sure she gets it. But a lingering rumor (and maybe some ambivalence about her half-Turkish heritage) has kept Ros from achieving the kind of reputation she deserves. So, after years of plotting her big comeback, she just needs one thing: a hot, adoring guy on her arm at junior year homecoming. And when she meets charming new classmate Aydın at the Pine Bay resort over the summer, she thinks she&’s found The One. It doesn't work, though. And things get messy when Ros&’s plan ends up hurting the only friend she has left... poor, sweet, forgiving Eleanor. This has happened before—things tend to get messy with Ros around—and it's getting harder for her to ignore the pattern of hurt feelings. Plus, it seems like Ros and Aydın aren&’t really meant to be. What kind of a plan results in everyone ending up unhappy? Not a very good one. A not-quite rom com starring a bold, outspoken antiheroine, this Turkish-American Romeo and Juliet remix is refreshingly snarky. Witty, whip-smart dialogue plays with the complexities of multicultural identity and female friendships, from Ros&’s very first screw-up to her unconventional happy ending. Perfect for fans of Crystal Maldonado and Michelle Quach.A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection
