It all starts when Marisa picks up the wrong cell phone. When she returns it to Rene, she feels curiously drawn to him. But Marisa and Rene aren't exactly a match made in heaven. For one thing, Marisa is a chola; she's a lot of girl, and she's not ashamed of it. Skinny Rene gangles like a sackful of elbows and wears a calculator on his belt. In other words, he's a geek. So why can't Marisa stay away from him? Includes a glossary of Spanish words and phrases.


  • Opposites Attract: She's a tough chola who isn't afraid of a fight. He's a skinny geek who wears a calculator on his belt. It was never supposed to work.
  • A Heartwarming Meet Cute: After Marisa gets in a fight defending a friend, she accidentally swaps cell phones with Rene. One phone call to get it back changes everything.
  • Hispanic Teen Romance: A funny, authentic story full of heart and humor, featuring a glossary of the Spanish words and phrases that color Marisa's world.
  • Coming of Age: To be with Rene, Marisa transfers to a new school, ready to change her life. But standing up for what you believe in—and who you love—is never easy.
