Bookroo's summary
Aaliyah eagerly awaits the new school year to reunite with her best friend, Travis. But he's changed—taller, more focused on soccer, and spending time with the captivating Harlee. As Aaliyah grapples with jealousy and confusion, she must confront her own feelings. Can she reclaim her friendship with Travis, or is there something more at stake? Dive into this charming tale of friendship, self-discovery, and the complexities of young love.
From the publisher
A girl starts to like-like her best friend and feel jealous of the girl he’s hanging out with in this book in the new tween middle grade rom-com Spotlight Sprinkles series! Although she’s bummed that summer is over, Aaliyah is excited for school to start. She hasn’t seen her best friend, Travis, all summer! But when they reunite, Travis looks different–taller and…kind of cute. It’s different spending time with him too because now all he talks about is soccer! And he’s been hanging out with Harlee like a lot. And she’s much prettier and cooler than Aaliyah. Can Aaliyah get her best friend back? And does she maybe like him as more than a friend?
