There's a fun, humorous, and nostalgic tween romance coming this summer — Worldwide Crush by Kristin Nilsen (SparkPress, July 11)! It’s perfect for preteen readers who loved Never Have I Ever and To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before and millennial/gen x women who grew up in the golden age of teen idols. Inspired by her own childhood crush on Shaun Cassidy, Kristin “nails the angst of falling for a teen heartthrob.” Building on themes of celebrity crushes, being misunderstood as a young adult, and how far we’ll go for those first crushes, this should be on your summer read list.
For fans of My Eyes are Up Here by Laura Zimmermann and Veera Hiranandani’s How to Find What You're Not Looking For
