Synopsis: From Amazon
Three unlikely allies team up for a night of rebellion, romance, and revenge in a high-stakes dramedy from acclaimed young author Abby McDonald.
They’ve spent years at the same high school without speaking a word to one another, but that’s all about to change. Popular Bliss was having the perfect prom until she found her BFF and boyfriend making out in the back of a limo.
Bad girl Jolene wouldn’t be caught dead at the prom, yet here she is, trussed up in pink ruffles, risking her reputation for some guy - some guy who is forty minutes late. And shy, studious, über-planner Meg never counted on her date’s standing her up and leaving her idling in the parking lot outside the prom. Get ready for The Anti-Prom, Abby McDonald’s hilarious, heart-tugging tale about three girls and one unforgettable prom night.

I saw a great review of this one on YA Book Nerd this week and thought it would be a terrific addition to the school library.

I actually borrowed this one from the county library but would really love to have the series in the school library. Review here.

ReplyDeleteThe Anti-Prom sounds cute! Thanks for stopping by and saying hello for On My Wishlist. I'm a new follower. Have a lovely Saturday!
ReplyDeleteBoth look great, but I am drawn to the Demon's Lexicon. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteThe Anti-Prom reminds me of Ugly Betty. I just finished The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan so now I'm wishing for The Son of Neptune. I'm also making good progress on crossing books off my wishlist. Come see!
