Look up the word “nerd” and you’ll find Lily Cooper’s picture. She’s got one goal: first stop valedictorian, next stop Harvard. Until a stint in the hospital from too much stress lands her in the last place a klutz like her ever expected to be: salsa dance lessons.
Look up the word “popular” and you’ll find Stone Torres’s picture. His life seems perfect—star of the football team, straight-A student, lots of friends. But his family is struggling to make ends meet, so if pitching in at the Torres dance studio helps, he’ll do it.
When Lily’s dad offers Stone extra cash to volunteer as Lily’s permanent dance partner, he can’t refuse. But with each dip and turn, each moment her hand is in his, his side job starts to feel all too real. But in dance, as in life, one wrong move and someone could get hurt.
3 Reasons You Should Read…
Eyes on Me by Rachel Harris
- We LOVE Rachel Harris’ books. So when we saw that she was doing a nerdy girl/popular guy book, we were in from the very beginning. Lucky us, what we found on the page was more than we even hope it would be.
- Lily is smart and delightfully nerdy. Stone is a swoony jock. Both of them are so much more than what they first appear to be. They are the pair that maybe isn’t meant to be on the surface, but a perfect match in reality.
- Eyes on Me is a quick YA contemporary read that is sweet, smile-inducing and swoony. It’s one that should definitely be on your radar.
