Accidental Love

Accidental LoveAuthor(s): Gary SotoIt 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.Review(s):"The tough-girl/good-guy romance is a refreshing twist, and Marisa and Rene are unique and long-overdue characters."--The Bulletin"With humor and insight, [Soto] creates memorable, likable characters."--BooklistALA Popular Paperbacks for Young AdultsISBN:  9780152061135
