Fans of Emma Lord and Rachel Lynn Solomon will revel in Kelsey Rodkey's latest swoon-worthy YA rom-com as self-proclaimed matchmaker Lahey finally puts her own heart on the line—to find a date in just one week.

Lahey Johnson is notorious for helping her friends and classmates find love, but she's never had a reason to focus on her own love life. Until now. When her detested cousin Summer decides Lahey doesn't need a plus one to her sweet sixteen, Lahey has the ultimate reason: revenge.

Lahey will do anything to prove that she can get a date to Summer's party—anything, including juggle six prospective suitors in seven days.

The only issue? Her sister's irritating friend Adler has decided to take a front-row seat to the spectacle that is Lahey's life. Lahey is determined not to let him distract her from one-upping Summer. But as the party creeps closer, the panic sets in. Can a matchmaker ever really meet her own match?

Last Chance Books author Kelsey Rodkey delivers another perfect read for all who love their romance with a side of repartee.

      An ardent fan of meet-cutes and rom-coms, Lahey, 17, loves matchmaking but has never dated. When her cousin Summer references this fact to explain why she's omitted the plus-one from Lahey's invitation to her Sweet 16 birthday bash, Lahey impulsively lies, saying she has lots of guys to choose from. And now she's stuck, needing to find a date in the six days before the party. Having brought Summer and her boyfriend together, Lahey is annoyed that her sisters and best friend Poppy aren't onboard. Laser-focused on payback, Lahey bails on Poppy at a critical moment to focus on her plus-one prospects. However, she initially overlooks Adler, the cute neighbor boy who was irritated by her previous unsolicited matchmaking efforts. Lahey feigns interest and skill in activities her prospects favor, pressing on cheerfully after each failure. Lahey's smart, self-centered, adept at escaping snafus of her own devising--and on a journey to balancing her outgoing, upbeat, body-positive identity with her acute awareness of the world's judgment of fat girls like herself. In her quest to best the cousin who's hurt her, she loses her way for a time. Poppy's already a working artist, and Lahey's potential dates have independent goals and interests; Lahey is on a journey toward developing true self-esteem. When she does find love, it's by recognizing what she needs and deserves. Poppy is Vietnamese American; other major characters read White. A romantic journey of self-growth. (Romance. 12-17)
