Named a YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults nominee!
"This book is packed with humor. Every character is well developed and has their complexities.” —School Library Journal
Steve Stevenson is a jerk. That might not be a cool thing to say about someone with cancer, but it’s true. Yeah, he throws legendary parties and is the most popular guy in school, but he also loves humiliating pranks and Cardi B, and he doesn’t recycle. Worst of all, he’s dating Kaia—the girl of nice guy Cam’s dreams.
But when a desperate Kaia asks Cam to help her raise money to pay for Steve’s experimental treatment, Cam offers to organize the biggest, most viral fundraising campaign. Maybe then Kaia will finally see Cam as the perfect, thoughtful, altruistic, good guy for her.
But Steve’s no fool. He’s totally on to Cam’s plan. And to stop him from stealing his girlfriend, he’s going to do whatever it takes to make Cam’s life as miserable as his own.
From Jenni Hendriks and Ted Caplan, authors of Unpregnant, comes a quirky, funny story about living up to other people’s expectations and what it really means to do the right thing.
Cam’s plan is simple: save Steve, get the girl. What could possibly go wrong?
- A Hilarious Love Triangle: Cam wants Kaia, but she’s dating his worst enemy. When Steve gets sick, Cam sees a chance to be the hero—if Steve doesn’t ruin him first.
- Enemies to... Frenemies?: What starts as a bitter rivalry over a girl and a fundraiser spirals into something more complicated. They might hate each other, but they might also be the only ones who truly get each other.
- Dark Humor Done Right: If you like your love stories with a side of snark and a twist of gallows humor, this book—compared to Dirty Rotten Scoundrels meets The Fault in Our Stars—is for you.
- Viral Stunts and Prank Wars: From wearing an adult diaper to school to a disastrous bee beard challenge, the stunts to save Steve get more outrageous, and personal, by the day.
