A story about falling in love while pursuing your dreams with all your heart, I' m obsessed with Bad at Love!"-Axie Oh, author of XOXO "Coupling romcom tropes with a cast of characters I instantly fell head over heels for, Bad at Love is a warm hug laced with humor, yearning, and Brazilian pride. "-Emery Lee, author of Meet Cute Diary "A relatable, fun, and flirty rom-com about two people trying to find who they are. "-Louisa Onome, author of Like Home and Twice As Perfect "A quick-paced plot and fluid prose make for an enjoyable read as the teens muddle through a blooming romance complicated by ulterior motives and Daniel' s celebrity status.
