Madison's mind knows she can't be with Ben, but her heart does
not
LOS
ANGELES, Aug. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- First
loves can be described as a thrilling rush of emotion,
unforgettable in their intensity, but one of the hardest things to
let go of when it's time to say goodbye. Inspired by personal
reflections of her life, author Rossana
Snee introduces her new young adult novel, "Papi,
Por Favor!," a story set to capture
the hearts of readers with its blend of teenage romance, family
dynamics, and the challenges of navigating unforbidden love.
"As Madison's feelings for Ben grow, so do
her lies," Snee said. "However, lies, like corks, eventually float
to the surface. And when they do, all key players are there to
witness it."
In the book, readers meet the main character, Madison Michaels, a 16-year-old girl who has
never been in love, thanks to her overprotective dad, Pablo Pérez,
who strictly enforces Rule #4: Stay away from boys! Until, that is,
Ben Warren shows up in her classroom
with his good looks and kindhearted ways, unknowingly capturing her
heart. While Madison's feelings for Ben grow, she knows she cannot
fall in love.
"As Madison struggles to navigate the whirlwind of teenage life,
she must face the painful truth that sometimes, love isn't enough
to hold on to," Snee said.
However, as Madison grows closer to Ben, she finds herself
tangled in a web of lies. She must hide her feelings from those
closest to her: her adoptive twin sisters, Caro and Tina; her
friend, Nina Abbott who, obsessed
with Pride and Prejudice, has also fallen for Ben, believing he's
her Mr. Darcy; and best friends Elena
Mercado and Mari Rosales, who
sees Ben as trouble. This tension between hidden emotions and the
expectations of others creates a complex and compelling narrative
where love and loyalty clash.
"As Madison's feelings for Ben grow, so do her lies," Snee said.
"However, lies, like corks, eventually float to the surface. And
when they do, all key players are there to witness it."
Set to resonate with young readers who are navigating their
journeys through adolescence, Snee offers a relatable and engaging
story accompanying humor and the importance of staying true to
oneself.
