Now that Olivia’s caught Tyler’s attention, Kat has to wonder if she’s fooled Tyler into falling for the wrong girl. And to her delight-or maybe horror-her plan begins to work. From writing “Tyler cheat sheets” listing his favorite things, to feeding Olivia lines through her headphones during Tyler-focused study sessions, Kat devises schemes by which Tyler will fall for Olivia. She is also the author of the middle-grade novels Crushing It and the Red Maple. Trying to be a good friend and squash her own feelings, Kat makes it her mission to get the two of them together. Joanne Levy is an Ontario author of books for young people, including Double Trouble and Fish Out of Water. But since Kat’s one of Tyler’s oldest friends, Olivia’s sure she’ll know how to get his attention. When Olivia confesses that she has a crush on Tyler and wants to ask him to the Fall Ball dance, Kat knows there’s going to be a problem: Tyler thinks Olivia is just another ditsy girl who only cares about lip gloss and boy bands. Suddenly the person Kat’s used to playing Xbox with is causing her stomach to do cartwheels. Plus, Tyler, Kat’s next-door neighbor and buddy since birth, morphed into a really cute boy over the summer. Braces-wearing, manga-loving, uncoordinated Kat is a warthog. In the jungle that is middle school, Olivia is a gazelle.
