Sponsored by Keep My Heart in San Francisco by Amelia Diane Coombs
“Intriguing and Charming.” – Kirkus Reviews
Chuck loves three things: coffee, fashion, and San Francisco. She hates—well, strongly dislikes—two things: bowling and Beckett Porter, her ex-best friend who broke her heart. Unfortunately, Chuck’s spring break will be filled with both if she has any hopes of saving Bigmouth’s, her family’s ancient bowling alley and the only thing keeping her in the city she loves.
