For seventeen-year-old Bree Hughes, it's easier said than done when gossip, grief, and the opportunity to fail at love are practically high-fiving her in the hallways of Belmont High.
When Bree's crush, Sean Mills, gives her his phone number, she can't even leave a voicemail without sounding like a freak. Then she's asked to be on Prom Court because Maisey Morgan, the school outcast nominated as a joke, declined. She apologizes to Maisey, but it's too late. After years of torment and an ugly secret shared with their class's cruel Pageant Queen, Maisey commits suicide. Bree is left with a lot of regret...and a revealing letter with a final request.
With Sean by her side, Bree navigates through her guilt, her parents' divorce, and all the Prom Court drama. But when a cheating-love-triangle secret hits the fan after a night of sex, drinks, and video games, she's left with new information about Sean and the class Pageant Queen. Bree must now speak up or stay silent. If she lets fear be her guide, she'll lose her first love, and head to prom to avenge the death of the school outcast—as a party of one.

Gr 7-10-Keep calm and make it to prom night-that's all 17-year-old Bree has to do. It's easier said than done and becomes even more difficult when the boy she's had a crush on gives her his number, and Maisey, the school outcast since forever ago, gets nominated for prom queen. When the prank of nominating Maisey turns into what seems to be a bad dream, how will Bree manage to deal with a new beau and Maisey's deep, dark secret while trying to keep her cool as the drama of her school life, love life, and family life unfold? In this debut novel, Allen-Vath starts off slow before taking readers through a humorous ride of the twists and turns of a teenage love triangle. Because of the book's cover, some may dismiss this title as just another prom queen novel, but this is an engaging read for anyone who enjoys stories of high school drama and popularity, coupled with the sometimes painful, anxious ride of adolescence. The author writes this story with bits and pieces of her own experience as a survivor of abuse, encouraging teens to stand up for the truth. VERDICT A relatable supplemental purchase.-Keisha Miller, South Orange Public Library, NJ
