Definitely Not a Love Story: A Runners Handbook

Ana has big plans to be an important writer. But not a romance writer, like her mom, because she’s seen what love does to people. From her parents’ constant bickering to her sister’s endless string of broken hearts to her best friend’s on-again, off-again relationship, love is messy and Ana wants no part of it. When a school writing contest pairs her up with Alejandro, a notorious serial dater, Ana is annoyed. Alejandro is everything she can’t stand—romantic, sentimental, and idealistic. But Ana is willing to put her qualms aside for the sake of the big prize: publication. As the two work together to create a winning story, Ana finds herself impressed with Alejandro’s writing. But despite their new connection, there’s no way she can fall for him. After all, she’s sure this is definitely not a love story.
