Description

When her crush asks her to fix him up with her perfect older sister, sixteen-year-old Andi decides it's time to step out of the shadows. She creates a twelve-step program for second-class siblings to help her steal the spotlight, and the guy, from her sister, Laina. Step 1: Admit she's powerless to change her perfect sister, and accept that her life really, really sucks. Step 4: Make a list of her good qualities. Even if all she's got going for her is really great hair. Step 7: Demand attention for more than just the way she screws things up. But when a stolen kiss ends in disaster, Andi realizes that her prince isn't as charming as she'd hoped. And as Laina's flawless facade begins to crumble, Andi discovers that the spotlight she's been trying to steal isn't really the one she wants. The sisters will have to work together to find a spotlight big enough for them both to shine.

About the Author

Veronica Bartles has spent most of her life wondering "What If?" She knows there are many sides to every story, and she's determined to discover every single one of them. Veronica believes that Cinderella isn't the only sister who deserves to go to the ball, and that every princess deserves a frog, because princes aren't pets! She is an incurable optimist who loves gray, drizzly days because that's when rainbows come out to play. When she's not writing (or reading!) books, Veronica enjoys knitting with recycled plastic bags, inventing fabulous new cookie recipes, and hanging out with her family.

Reviews

"Smart and funny, Twelve Steps perfectly captures the gut-wrenching joy and supreme mortification of unrequited love. Authentic and *oh so* relatable, Bartles hits it out of the park with her debut! For anyone who's ever felt second best, or struggled to find their place inthe world, this book is for you! Grab the chocolate, turn off the phone, and prepare to ride the roller coaster of Andi's life as it unfolds, page after humor-filled page. This is contemporary romance done right!"--Rachel Harris, New York Times Bestselling Author of THE FINE ART OF PRETENDING

"With her debut novel, Veronica Bartles creates a fun, fast-paced story about a feisty heroine whose plan to steal her oh-so-perfect sister's spotlight leads to a messy love triangle ... no, love pentagon. TWELVE STEPS will have you cheering when Cinderella finds her backbone, PrinceCharming learns that not every stepsister wants his glass slipper, and the heroine realizes she's been shining in her own light all along."--Laura Bowers, Author of BEAUTY SHOP FOR RENT and JUST FLIRT
