Summary: Sophomore Kalvin Shmelton has finally perfected his underground
candy-selling hustle at school. He keeps his prices reasonable, his
inventory fresh, and himself out of the drama. But when a heartbroken
Sterling Glistern—Kal’s longtime crush—barges into the storage closet
where he keeps his candy supply, a new source of income unexpectedly
presents itself: relationship therapist. He only meant to help Sterling
realize she’s dating a jerk—and maybe win her over—but news
spreads fast that Kalvin’s not just the master of sweets…but hearts,
too! And as the son of two famous therapists, he leans into this
newfound reputation and the money that comes with it.The truth,
however, is that Kalvin’s parents’ “perfect” marriage is crumbling. He
was supposed to woo the girl of his dreams, fix his parents’
relationship, and lend a listening ear to a school full of
heartbroken teens. But a jealous boyfriend, a vengeful competitor, and
Kalvin’s own growing ego threaten those plans, forcing Kal to rethink
all he thought he knew about friendship, family, and love. (Pub Date: Dec 12 2023)
