About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager is navigating the messy aftermath of a first breakup or struggling with the pressure of social hierarchies. It is a perfect choice for girls who feel they have to prove their worth in competitive spaces like sports or academics while managing complicated feelings about their identity. The story follows Scottie, a basketball player who enters a fake-dating scheme with her nemesis, Irene, to get back at a toxic ex-girlfriend. Beyond the romance, it offers a thoughtful look at self-confidence, the importance of moving on, and learning to see people for who they truly are rather than the labels they wear at school. It is an uplifting, funny, and deeply relatable exploration of queer teen life that balances humor with genuine emotional growth.
