A feminist mystery that author Jessica Goodman called "whip-smart and lowkey hilarious", about the dark side of a hopeless romantic's seemingly perfect love story. Play to win. Alyson Benowitz is a romantic, and sometimes that gets her into trouble—like when she falls for boys who aren’t into her. But this time it’s different. Her connection with Brenton Riggs Jr., a star athlete at her elite prep school, isn’t just in her head. She’s swept up in her first real relationship. Then she hears the rumors about a competition the Sullivan-Stewart guys started to see who can get with the most girls. It’s deeply disturbing . . . if it’s true. Is Brenton with Alyson for the right reasons—or is he trying to win some gross game? And when the girls at school take matters into their own hands, things take an unsettling turn. Lies, secrets, backstabbing . . . when push comes to shove, who’ll be left standing?

Book Description
The Breakfast Club meets We Need to Talk About Kevin A lockdown catches five grade 12 students by surprise and throws them together in the only unlocked room on that empty third floor wing: the boys' washroom. They sit in silence, judging each other by what they see, by the stories they've heard over the years. Stuck here with them--could anything be worse? There's Alice: an introverted writer, trapped in the role of big sister to her older autistic brother, Noah. Isabelle: the popular, high-achieving, student council president, whose greatest performance is her everyday life. Hogan: an ex-football player with a troubled past and a hopeless future. Xander: that socially awkward guy hiding behind the camera, whose candid pictures of school life, especially those of Isabelle, have brought him more trouble than answers. Told in five unique voices through prose, poetry, text messages, journals, and homework assignments, each student reveals pieces of their true story as they wait for the drill to end. But this modern-day Breakfast Club takes a twist when Isabelle gets a text that changes everything: NOT A DRILL!! Shooter in the school! Suddenly, the bathroom doesn't seem so safe anymore. Especially when they learn that one of them knows more about the shooter than they realized...
