About this ebook

In this incandescent page-turner, sixteen-year-old Claire learns the unfortunate truth that sometimes a girl has to kiss a lot of frogs. . . . Brilliantly capturing the complexities of friendship, the struggles of self-discovery, and the difficulties of trying to find love in high school, Rachael Allen has crafted a rich debut that's impossible to put down.

No matter how many boys Claire kisses, she can't seem to find a decent boyfriend—someone who isn't afraid of her family's tragic past or her own aspirations for the future . . . until she meets Luke. But Megan, Claire's closest friend, is falling for Luke, too, and if there's one thing Claire knows for sure, it's that Megan is pretty much irresistible. With true love and best friendship on the line, Claire suddenly has everything to lose. And what she learns—about her crush, her friends, and most of all herself—makes the choices even harder.


She can’t win the boy without hurting her best friend. Who does she choose?


  • Best Friends to Rivals: Claire and Megan have been best friends forever. But when they both fall for Luke, their pacts and promises are put to the ultimate test.
  • New Guy in Town: Luke is everything Claire has been looking for—cute, smart, and not scared off by her past. The only problem? He has also caught Megan’s eye.
  • Heartfelt Friendship Drama: Navigating the social minefield of high school is hard enough without falling for the same boy as the most popular girl in school, who also happens to be your closest friend.
  • The Perfect First Love: After a string of bad kisses, Claire thinks she has finally found a boy worth the wait. But is a perfect first love worth losing a lifelong friendship over?
In this incandescent page-turner, sixteen-year-old Claire learns the unfortunate truth that sometimes a girl has to kiss a lot of frogs. . . . Brilliantly capturing the complexities of friendship, the struggles of self-discovery, and the difficulties of trying to find love in high school, Rachael...
