Standoffish Eloise Deane, in need of volunteer hours for her college applications, is paired with an agency that offers social support to lonely seniors and meets a dynamic elderly woman and a cheerful fellow volunteer who unexpectedly make her question her loner status. - Simon and Schuster
Hacks gets a romantic twist in the vein of Jenn Bennett in this âsimmeringâ (Publishers Weekly) novel about a standoffish teen girl whose loner status gets challenged by a dynamic elderly woman and a perpetually cheerful boy.
Eloise Deane is the worst and doesnât care who knows it. Sheâs grumpy, prefers to be alone, and is just slogging through senior year with one goal: get accepted to USC and move to California. So when her guidance counselor drops the bombshell that to score a scholarship sheâll desperately need, her applications require volunteer hours, Eloise is up for the challenge. Until sheâs paired with LifeCare, a volunteer agency that offers social support to lonely seniors through phone calls and visits. Basically, itâs a total nightmare for Eloiseâs anxiety.
Eloise realizes sheâs made a huge mistakeâespecially when sheâs paired with Austin, the fellow volunteer whoâs the sunshine to her cloudy day. But as Eloise and Austin work together to keep Marianne Landisâthe mysterious former frontwoman of the 1970s band the Laundromatsâcompany, something strange happens. Eloise actuallyâ¦likes Marianne and Austin? She isnât sure what to do with that, especially when her feelings toward Austin begin to blur into more-than-friends territory.
And when ex-girlfriends, long-buried wounds, and insecurities reappear, Eloise will have a choice to make: go all in with Marianne and Austin or get out before she gets hurt.
