- Can't
- Hardly
- Wait
- with
- an
- unforgettable
- ensemble
- cast
- in
- another
- swoony
- YA
- contemporary
- from
- award-winning
- author
- Julian
- Winters!Seventeen-year-old
- Theo
- Wright
- has
- it
- all
- figured
- out.
- His
- plan
- (well,
- more
- like
- his
- dad’s
- plan)
- is
- a
- foolproof
- strategy
- that
- involves
- exceling
- at
- his
- magnet
- school,
- getting
- scouted
- by
- college
- recruiters,
- and
- going
- to
- Duke
- on
- athletic
- scholarship.
- But
- for
- now,
- all
- Theo
- wants
- is
- a
- perfect
- prom
- night.
- After
- his
- best
- friend
- Jay
- dares
- Theo
- to
- prompose
- to
- his
- crush
- at
- Chloe
- Campbell’s
- party,
- Theo’s
- ready
- to
- throw
- caution
- to
- the
- wind
- and
- take
- his
- chances.But
- when
- the
- promposal
- goes
- epically
- wrong,
- Theo
- seeks
- refuge
- in
- an
- empty
- bedroom
- while
- the
- party
- rages
- on
- downstairs.
- Having
- an
- existential
- crisis
- about
- who
- he
- really
- is
- with
- and
- without
- his
- so-called
- best
- friend
- wasn’t
- on
- tonight’s
- agenda.
- Though,
- as
- the
- night
- goes
- on,
- Theo
- finds
- he’s
- not
- as
- alone
- as
- he
- thinks
- when,
- one
- by
- one,
- new
- classmates
- join
- him
- to
- avoid
- who
- they’re
- supposed
- be
- outside
- the
- bedroom
- door.
- Among
- them,
- a
- familiar
- acquaintance,
- a
- quiet
- outsider,
- an
- old
- friend,
- and
- a
- new
- flame
- .
