I was ready to rock Sophomore year...

Until I got the party kid as a lab partner...

I've dreamed of winning the TACS Award since I could type. But, the school board decided we needed to learn to work well with others and gave us partners for the computer programming project. Lucky me, I assigned with John Herrington III, whose big idea is a dating app for teens.

I'm so flunking.

I'm also crushing on him--hard.

Jumping into the social lives of our fellow students backfires when the mean girl gets dumped because of our app. She sets out to sabotage our project and ruin the Homecoming Dance for anyone we matched.

There's only one way to salvage the project--but it will mean my first broken heart because I'll lose either the guy I love or my life-long dream.


My Review: 4 Stars

A private school for high school students whose parents are billionaires...intriguing... Honestly, in a real world of collegiate scandals and other various misdeeds, this student body doesn't come off as entitled in the least. Adelle has worked hard for years to achieve her dreams of coding, getting into a good college, and winning a prestigious award. Money doesn't give this student any advantages.

I loved watching Adelle and John develop their app right along with their friendship. Adelle's journey into normal teen life was hilarious and fun. But, just like any normal high school, this one has its ups and downs, and has the typical variety of students--mean girls, jocks, brainiacs, and more--and drama are present. The teenage drama adds to the flavor of the story and gives dimension to the app. Seriously--where was this app when I was in high school?! 

This sweet teenage romance was very enjoyable and worthy of a good escape.
