Book Blurb
It's prom season at Smith High School and love is in the air. . .for some people.
Melanie Morris knows she shouldn't keep flirting with her best friend's brother, Dylan Wellesley, even though the last thing she feels is "sisterly" around the cute soon-to-be freshman. But attending prom with somebody else might mean losing him for good. . .
Isobel Peters accepts the fact that she's a huge geek, but she never expected renowned player, Spencer King, would want to get his hands on. . .her reputation. What begins as a bargain could turn into something real--or a Notable disaster!
Corey O'Neal is dating the boy of his dreams, rockstar Timothy Goff. But it isn't easy to trade in anonymity for instant celebrity status, especially now that swarms of protesters want them both banned from prom. Dating Prince Charming in real life is a whole lot harder than it sounds in fairytales.
Happily ever after? Try awkwardly ever after!

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
Melanie and Mackenzie are friends and Mel has feelings for Dylan who happens to be Mackenzie’s little brother. He is a year younger and Mel feels it crosses some line. So she tries to hide her feelings and get over them. Mackenzie has plans for Mel when she tries to pair her with Spencer King, king of the notables. Melanie panics and enlists her best friend Isobel to go as a fifth wheel. Of course when plans get changed and the group ends up at Mackenzie’s house, Dylan is there. Everything blows up in Mel’s face.
Isobel gets thrown in with Spencer when things get crazy at Mackenzie’s house. Isobel has to accept a ride home from Spencer. He lets her psychoanalyze him which leads to his proposition. Isobel is shocked but ends up entering into a deal. The repercussions were more than she bargained for and she panics. Plus she is confused about Spencer and waiting for him to turn on her like all the other notables.
Prom is approaching and Corey has plans to go with his friends Jane and Mackenzie. However when his rock star boyfriend decides to go too, things get crazier than usual. Corey is already having trouble dealing with the fans and paparazzi making his privacy nonexistent. When the school board threatens to cancel the prom because of the gay couple, everything hits the fan. Corey doesn’t know how to handle all the things that accompany his relationship.
This book was fabulous. It showed how some students made it passed the bullying from the notables and grabbed a hold of what they wanted even if it was hard to do. There were three stories focusing on three main characters but they were all friends at the same high school. They were considered geeks and they triumphed. I also liked the gay love story. Every teen should read how difficult it is to deal with the backlash you get just for loving someone. It is a true theme throughout the book and how the characters did it anyway. The messages are positive and I recommend this book to any teenage reader. I give it a 5 out of 5.
