Falling Into You: Emma Harrison

Falling Into You Emma Harrison Paperback YOUNG ADULT FICTION/Romance / Contemporary * Gilmore Girls meets America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders in this cozy fall paperback original about a soccer player forced to join the cheer squad, and the cheer captain forced to teach him; that is, if she can get over how annoying—and annoyingly cute—he is. Rory Graham (yes, her mom is a huge Gilmore Girls fan; no, she does not want to discuss it) is her school’s organized, enthusiastic, all-around type-A cheer captain. She’s so perfect, in fact, that her boyfriend is no less than captain of their school’s championship-winning soccer team. They’re THE couple, obviously destined to be Homecoming king & queen. Jacob Reilly (yes, his mom is a Twilight stan; no, no one ever brings it up because Jacob is a common name, okay?) is decidedly type B, which isn’t a problem because he’s effortlessly good at everything he tries. Which is why he’s up for trying anything, including losing ridiculous bets that throw his soccer season into disarray—and force him to join the cheer squad instead, replacing a critical member of their base who’s been injured. For weeks Rory has been running solely on quadruple-shot pumpkin spice lattes, planning the perfect Homecoming halftime show AND preparing her team to triumph at the tri-county cheer competition the next day. The last thing she needs is one of her boyfriend’s teammates goofing around at the bottom of her pyramid. Can she whip her new teammate into perfect alignment, like everything else in her life? Or is it possible that Jacob is something else—something better than perfection?
