The Replacement Crush - Softcover

Lisa Brown Roberts still hasn't recovered from the teenage trauma of nearly tweezing off both eyebrows and having to pencil them in for an entire school year. This and other angst-filled memories inspire her to write YA books about navigating life's painful and funny dramas, and falling in love along the way. She lives in Colorado in a house full of books, boys, four-legged prima donnas, and lots of laughter. You can reach Lisa on Twitter @LBrownRoberts or visit her at her website, lisabrownroberts.com

2017 Athena Award Finalist2017 Aspen Gold Readers' Choice Award Finalist"Roberts has written another smart, charming teen romance...An entertaining, nicely nuanced depiction of teen relationships and challenges." - Kirkus Reviews
 
"Avid readers will appreciate the many literary threads Roberts weaves into the story: she gives Viv and Dallas jobs in Viv's mother's independent bookstore, her mother writes "a semi-famous series of mystery novels" under a pseudonym, and Viv is a book blogger and runs a romance book club...upbeat and entertaining throughout." - Publishers Weekly
 
"A light love story, full of fun, flirty, and friendly characters. Teens will see themselves in these characters and will root for a Dallas/Vivian match from the first chapter. A recommended choice for romance shelves." - School Library Journal

5 stars: "Oh goodness, I'm not sure there are enough words in the English language to articulate how much I loved this book. It was all the romance of Lisa Brown Roberts in true form, sprinkled with a Gilmore Girls and The O.C.-like crossover setting, and a nerdy love interest. Yes--this book was spectacular." -Moriah Chavis, A Leisure Moment

5 stars: "In short, I loved it, from beginning to end. I read it in one sitting, and I couldn't put it down - it was that good." -Sophie, Where are the Books

5 stars: "I am so in love with this book. It was the perfect read--sweet and fun and adorable. Obviously I love Viv (Team Book Bloggers!) but everyone in this book is just fantastic. (Except for the guy who hurt Viv; that guy needs to die.) And now I need to acquire everything Lisa Brown Roberts has ever written, ever. Highly recommended." -Kelly Hager, Kelly Vision

5 stars: "Pick up this book. Don't wait. Don't hesitate. Don't even pause to walk out of the store...have someone guide your steps through the parking lot as you open up the story and start reading on your way to the car and then make them drive so you can read. Seriously. You need Dallas and Vivian in your life...like now." -K.M. Robinson, Reading Transforms

5 stars: "What an amazing, funny, adorable, awesome book. I totally loved it!" -Lisa Dess, Girls With Books

5 stars: "I wish there were more books like this. You know the ones where the main character is a book blogger. Or the main character's parent is an author. Or a book that its setting takes place mostly in a bookstore called Murder By The Sea. Or a romance with a really hot McNerd. Oh my damn, hot nerds. Yes, please!" -Stephanie Kaye, In Wonderland

5 stars: "It was one of the best YA romances that I have read in a while and has definitely made the list of romances to add to my branch collection. The writer is witty, funny, and knew how to engage her readers." -Patty Ramirez
