Blurb
Mia Bennett has survived almost five years of secondary school without doing anything too embarrassing.
Mostly.
But now she is in Year 11, GCSEs are coming, everyone is suddenly acting mature, and Mia has realised something tragic: she has spent years silently crushing on Parker Hartley without him even knowing she exists.
Parker is the golden boy of St. Catherine's Academy. Handsome, kind, popular, good at football, and somehow able to smile like he has personally been sent to ruin Mia's concentration.
So Mia decides enough is enough.
Armed with questionable psychology tips, dramatic advice from her friends, and the kind of confidence that usually disappears the moment Parker enters the room, Mia creates her most important mission yet:
Operation Love: How to Make Your Crush Smitten by You.
The plan is simple.
Get Parker's attention.
Make him smile.
Do not embarrass herself.
Definitely do not let Noah Fletcher interfere.
Unfortunately, Theo Fletcher is everywhere. Annoying, smug, far too observant, and always present whenever Mia's plans go horribly wrong.
But Operation Love is supposed to be about Parker.
So why does the boy ruining the plan suddenly feel like the best part of it?
