Maddie McPherson is sick of Normal-both her hometown of Normal, Illinois and being the 'normal' sibling. But when she lands a summer internship with a sports marketing firm, she finally has a chance to crawl out of her genius brother's shadow. Not to mention, a glowing letter of recommendation secure her admission to her dream college. But Maddie's nickname is "Calamaddie" for a reason, and when the company tasks her with repairing the image of teen soccer phenom Gabriel Fortunato, she wonders if she's set herself up for embarrassment. Gabriel is a tabloid magnet, who's best-known for flubbing Italy's World Cup hopes. As Maddie works with him to develop "pleasant and friendly" content for social media, she also learns he's thoughtful, multi-talented, and fiercely loyal-maybe even to a fault. Falling for a footballer is exactly how Calamaddie would botch this internship, but with the firm pressuring her to get the job done, perhaps her heart is worth risking?

From Stealing Home author Becky Wallace comes a Devil Wears Prada-inspired YA romance, in which "normal girl" Maddie must repair the image of Major League Soccer's bad boy to ace her internship. A perfect read for fans of Morgan Matson and Miranda Kenneally.
