by Farah Heron
A teen tries to save her quickly gentrifying neighborhood—and make her cynical partner in festival-planning believe in love—in this opposites-attract romance perfect for fans of Lynn Painter and Sandhya Menon.
Sana Merali is a certified hopeless romantic.
It's inevitable when she literally lives on Love Street, a cute side-street full of mom-and-pop shops and cozy apartments. With her florist mother, her part-time job at a vintage shop, and her adorably curated wardrobe, Sana knows she's what meet-cutes are made of—and it's only a matter of time until her own HEA.
When the neighborhood is threatened by new developments, however, her plans for love get pushed to the backburner as she and her neighbors rally to host a festival that will finally put the neighborhood on everyone's radar. Because what better way to get people to fall in love with Love Street?
Unfortunately, Miles Desai is also on the planning committee. Miles is contrary, judgmental, and…anti-romance. His hard stance on love inspires Sana with another goal for the summer: to matchmake Miles and knock the cynicism right out of him.
But as her set-up for Miles starts to actually work, Sana realizes that happily-ever-afters, for herself and for her street, aren't that easy to come by.
"[T]his is a sweet, slow-burn romance with layered and engaging characters. It's also an examination of love and its many expressions, and the transformation of rigid notions about family and belonging. The ponderous second half dampens the lively pace and crackling dialogue of the first, but the book redeems itself with an unabashedly romantic ending...An appealing story of love and longing—with a side of urban planning." —Kirkus Reviews
