No One Knows About You

Brianna Click is just trying to stay above a failing grade in History so she won’t be kicked off the dance squad. She is forced to seek out the help of those on the opposite side of the social spectrum–nerds. When all acceptable options run out, she’s faced with one last lifeline if she can bring herself to ask him.

Ricardo Amaya is just trying to survive high school and the bullies that exist within its walls. He hopes to make it out as unscathed as possible. The last thing he expects is his biggest crush asking him for help.

They don’t anticipate life-change, but when their very different universes collide out of necessity, eyes are opened and hearts are transformed; though change rarely comes without heartache and anguish

“It was refreshing to hear from the perspective of a male main character. Ricardo is so endearing – I found myself quickly rooting for him. This is a great read that young adults and adults would enjoy!”

“Read this book in just a few days…couldn’t put it down! Captivating writing draws you right in. The characters are well-developed and the storyline is a true journey back to younger days of self-discovery, first love, and social maneuvering. It’s very refreshing to see an author tackle a male protagonist’s journey through the raw and honest emotions of high school life.”

“I don’t even know where to begin. This book is such a great read I could probably read it over and over, (you know as you do with a good movie). The author definitely added his personality and sense of humor into this one. I can’t wait for another book by Paco Montoya. He’s definitely my new favorite author.”

“I could not put this book down! It was so captivating and made you fall in love with the characters. The rollercoaster of feelings reading this was amazing! Anger, sadness, hunger, happiness, and butterflies. I cried a few times. I loved this book and highly recommend it!!”
