About Adorkable:
“Captivating, fun, and totally swoon-worthy! This is the kind of
story my reader heart craves.” ―Rachel Harris, New
York Times bestselling author of Eyes on Me
Available in print for the first time, and with exclusive bonus
content only found in the print version! Fall in love with Sally and Becks all
over again.
Adorkable (ah-dor-kuh-bul): Descriptive term meaning to be equal
parts dorky and adorable. For reference, see Sally Spitz.
Seventeen-year-old Sally Spitz is done with dating. Or at least,
she's done with the horrible blind dates/hookups/sneak attacks her matchmaking
bestie, Hooker, sets her up on. There's only so much one geek girl and
Gryffindor supporter can take.
Her solution: She needs a fake boyfriend. And fast.
Enter Becks, soccer phenom, all-around hottie, and Sally's best
friend practically since birth. When Sally asks Becks to be her F.B.F. (fake
boyfriend), Becks is only too happy to be used. He'd do anything for Sal―even
if that means giving her PDA lessons in his bedroom, saying she's "more
than pretty," and expertly kissing her at parties.
The problem: Sally's been in love with Becks all her life―and
he's completely clueless.
This book features two best friends, one special-edition Yoda
Snuggie, countless beneath-the-ear kisses, and begs the question:
Who wants
a real boyfriend when faking it is so much more fun?
Exclusive Excerpt:
"You're not seriously going to listen to them," I said flatly.
"What else can I do?"
"Becks, beware the dark side."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"It's a Yoda-ism," I said, "and you know exactly what it
means. Becks, have you no shame?"
"Nope," he said, lifting the jersey over his head in one swift
pull, causing a mixture of applause, screaming and appreciative sighs.
I
shook my head, struggling to keep my eyes north of his jaw line.
"What can I say, Sal?" he said, backing away. "It's like that line from that show Oklahoma. I'm just a guy who can't say no." Flicking his jersey at one of the
cheerleaders, he hot footed it out to center field, grinning all the while. He gave a frowning Coach Crenshaw a swat to
the backside, and then the team got down to business.
I
wrote down Becks's quote, making a side note to include it in my next article,
while the girl who'd caught Becks's jersey gripped the shirt to her heart and
pretended to faint.
At
least, I hoped it was pretend.
