The 13-year old nerd in me couldn't put it down! -Sam, Aaron's Books The unlikely romance between a Hollywood star and a small-town geek girl blossoms on the page, and instead of the story's traditional pumpkin carriage and fairy godmother, Elle gets a vegan food truck and a fashion-designing genius of a best friend.
