Valentine's Day is supposed to be sweet, right?
For [main character], it's anything but. When a crush appears out of nowhere, friends get involved, plans are made, and suddenly the pressure is on. Cards, candy, and whispered expectations take over-but there's just one problem: the crush isn't real.
Follow a week of awkward moments, messy feelings, and hilarious misunderstandings in this relatable middle-grade to teen story. From cringe-worthy encounters to embarrassing confessions, The Crush Who Wasn't is about learning that honesty, self-discovery, and friendship are way better than pretending to feel something you don't.
Perfect for fans of realistic, funny, and heartfelt teen fiction. If you've ever felt the chaos of crushes, Valentine's Day, or peer pressure, this story will make you laugh, groan, and nod in recognition-sometimes all at once.
