About this book
In this teenage coming-of-age story, thirteen-year-old Alice decides to put her life in order by tackling a surprising first priority: persuading her beloved teacher, Miss Summers, to marry her father. The plan gets complicated when the school's vice principal also sets his sights on Miss Summers, and Alice finds herself caught between helping her dad and navigating her own confusing feelings. As she wrestles with the question of whether someone can love two people at once, she meets Sam, a quiet and talented dancer from Camera Club who makes her question her long-standing relationship with boyfriend Patrick. Through these overlapping romances and family expectations, Alice learns that sorting out priorities isn't as simple as making a list.
