The Love Interest

Description

A swoony, speculative and Carnegie-nominated YA debut with a hilarious and electric take on the conventions of the superhero-verse. For fans of Michelle Quach’s Not Here To Be Liked and the Marvel Universe.

Seventeen-year-old Jenna Ray has just been saved by the world's newest superhero, Blaze. And, in the eyes of the public, that means one thing: Jenna Ray has been cast as the Love Interest.

No. Not happening. Not if Jenna has anything to say about it. (Even if Blaze is actually quite sweet and cute.)

But before she can turn down this new role, the mysterious Villains contact her to offer a life-changing proposition: become Blaze's Love Interest, while avoiding catching feelings for him, to uncover the HPA's secret plans and find her missing mum.

To make matters even more complicated, just as Jenna starts to embrace her new-found career, she discovers she might be on the side of the superheroes more than she ever imagined …
