Newsies Jack Kelly x OC (Alyssa Stoll Doesn't Do Love)
This is a Jack Kelly x Girl Newsie story I wrote this story because I couldn't find the Jack Kelly fanfic I wanted. Also I feel like there aren't enough books where the guy is trying to get the girl rather than the other way around. We stan an independent queen. Jack Kelly has had a crush on Alyssa Stoll since he first saw her in the alley when she was 7 years old. The only problem is Alyssa is too tough for boys; she insists that she doesn't do love. Will Alyssa ever get over her stubbornness and give Jack a chance? And will Jack ever have the guts to tell Alyssa how he feels? Please give this fanfic a shot; I'm working on it really hard and am so proud of it :)Complete
