Description
"Perfectly wonderful." --Becky Albertalli, New York Times-bestselling author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda
"An electrifying love story." --BooklistFrom nationally and internationally bestselling and Indie Next Pick author Sophie Gonzales comes Perfect on Paper: Leah on the Offbeat meets To All the Boys I've Loved Before in this YA romcom, where a bisexual girl who gives anonymous love advice to her classmates is hired by the hot guy to help him get his ex back Her advice, spot on. Her love life, way off.
Darcy Phillips:
- Can give you the solution to any of your relationship woes--for a fee.
- Uses her power for good. Most of the time.
- Really cannot stand Alexander Brougham.
- Has maybe not the best judgement when it comes to her best friend, Brooke...who is in love with someone else.
- Does not appreciate being blackmailed. However, when Brougham catches her in the act of collecting letters from locker 89--out of which she's been running her questionably legal, anonymous relationship advice service--that's exactly what happens. In exchange for keeping her secret, Darcy begrudgingly agrees to become his personal dating coach--at a generous hourly rate, at least. The goal? To help him win his ex-girlfriend back. Darcy has a good reason to keep her identity secret. If word gets out that she's behind the locker, some things she's not proud of will come to light, and there's a good chance Brooke will never speak to her again. Okay, so all she has to do is help an entitled, bratty, (annoyingly hot) guy win over a girl who's already fallen for him once? What could go wrong?

Praise for Perfect on Paper
"Didn't know it was possible to pack a book with this much charm, humor, sincerity, and wisdom, but then again, it's Sophie Gonzales. Perfect on Paper is perfectly wonderful." --Becky Albertalli, New York Times-bestselling author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda "A classic enemies-to-lovers romance but with some very contemporary obstacles thrown in." --Good Housekeeping "The book has a lot to love and celebrate.... The balance of lightness and meaningful conversations is perfect.... If you want to experience Darcy's badassery firsthand as she weaves through her complicated life, may sure to pick up this book!" --Hollywood Insider "Packed with humor, romance, and wisdom but most of all a wonderful sense of queer pride. Perfect on Paper reads a bit like what you'd get if you mixed Leah on the Offbeat and Netflix's Sex Education.... This book absolutely won my heart!" --Shelf Awareness "Sophie Gonzales, who wrote last year's charming Grease takeoff Only Mostly Devasted, pens another high school romance.... Twists and turns and hate-to-love ensue." --Forbes, "10 Of The Most Notable YA Books Of 2021 (So Far)" "Gonzales has crafted a lively story with multilayered appeal...then wraps it all up in an electrifying love story." --Booklist "A highly inclusive read with many characters identifying as LGBTQ+, this delightful foray into the world of high school relationships is a fantastic read for romance fans." --School Library Journal "I devoured this book in one lovely day! Perfect on Paper is full of the kind of sharp wit, keen insight, and hilarious rom-com shenanigans that make it a heartfelt reminder that love may come in infinite and unexpected ways, but is still the one thing we all have in common." --Emma Lord, New York Times bestselling author of Tweet Cute "Charming and compulsively readable.... Equal parts heady and heartfelt, it's perfect not only on paper, but in every way it works itself in and hangs on past the final page." --Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka, authors of If I'm Being Honest "Full of swoons and angst and packaged carefully with heart, Perfect on Paper was a brilliant study on the complications of first loves." --Erin Hahn, author of You'd Be Mine and More than Maybe "With plenty of swoons and off-the-charts chemistry, Sophie Gonzales has delivered a rom-com that is the perfect blend of humor, heart, and truth. Perfect on Paper is a must read for all rom-com fans!" --Kevin van Whye, author of Date Me, Bryson KellerPraise for Sophie Gonzales's Only Mostly Devastated "Only Mostly Devastated is the kind of book I wish existed when my kids were younger--a charming, funny, laugh-out-loud teen romance that reminds all readers love comes in a multitude of flavors, and they are ALL sweet." --Jodi Picoult, New York Times-bestselling author of Small Great Things and A Spark of Light "A delightful, heartwarming, heartrending story about family, love, friendship, and living your most authentic life.
