Amelia Applebaum isn’t in love with Walter Holland. He just happens to be her favorite moderately famous, chaotically bisexual YouTuber. Who she just happened to invite to prom. (But it’s fine. No, for real. If you delete the post, it didn’t happen.)
Okay, maybe her friends are right: She’s slightly parasocially infatuated. But Amelia just knows sparks would fly—if only she could connect with Walter for real. If only he would host a meet and greet. If only it were just a short road trip away. And if only Amelia could talk her best friends into making it the perfect last hurrah before graduation—even her newly single, always-cynical, guitar-toting best friend Natalie.
One thing’s for sure: All roads lead to butterflies.
But what if Amelia’s butterflies aren’t for Walter at all?
Scorned in more ways than one, a former teen heiress attempts the ultimate revenge heist at her father's luxury wedding-if only her infuriatingly charming ex-boyfriend would get out of the way-in this funny and fast-paced romantic thriller.
Seventeen-year-old Olivia Owens isn't thrilled that her dad's getting remarried ... again. She's especially not thrilled that he cheated on her mom, kicked them out of their Rhode Island home, and cut Olivia out of her rightful inheritance.
But this former heiress has a plan for revenge. While hundreds of guests gather on the grounds of the gorgeous estate where she grew up, everyone will be thinking romance-not robbery. She'll play the part of dutiful daughter, but in reality she'll be redistributing millions from her father's online accounts. She only needs the handwritten pass code he keeps in the estate's safe.
With the help of an eclectic crew of high school students and one former teacher, Olivia has plotted her mid-nuptial heist down to the second. But she didn't plan for an obnoxiously nosy wedding guest, an interfering ex-boyfriend intent on winning her back, greedy European cousins with their own agenda, or a vengeful second wife. When everything seems like it's going wrong, Olivia has to keep her eyes on what really matters: getting rich. And when she's done, "something borrowed" will be the understatement of the year.
Amidst competing schemes, nonstop twists, and a romance to root for, one high-heeled mastermind must prove to her father-and herself-that she's more ruthless than anyone expected.

The exhilarating highs and messy lows that encapsulate the end of high
school come together in this immersive YA romance debut. With only one
month of high school left, will Mina and Caplan risk their friendship
for love, or stay just friends..?
Mina has a stern face, long braid, and an attitude that has only got
worse since her dad died.
Caplan is the golden boy, complete with a vast social circle and an
on-again/off-again girlfriend who hates Mina's guts.
They're neighbours and somehow, despite all their differences, have
always understood each other the most. But then in the last few weeks
of high school, everything turns on its head. It's a shock when
Caplan's best-friend Quinn confesses he wants to take Mina to the prom.
It's an even bigger shock when she says yes.
With the social hierarchy out the window and everybody on the brink of
a new beginning, Mina finds herself opening up in ways she was too
anxious to before. It turns out, everyone thinks she's pretty cool. But
just because Mina's relationship with the world is changing, it doesn't
mean anything has to change between her and Caplan's relationship. . .

Edmund, is the only person who pays her any attention. But when the
sophisticated Crawfords move into the neighbourhood, even Edmund

Shaken by the betrayal of everyone she trusted, Skylar is through being a pawn. She may be the only one who can stop what her family started. And she has to do it before the App World runs out of time.
