From the author of Let's Talk About Love and If It Makes You Happy,
this exuberant YA novel follows six teens locked together in a
mansion, contending for a life-changing cash prize in a competition
run by a reclusive heiress. Everyone thinks they know Jewel Van
Hanen. Heiress turned actress turned social media darling who
created the massively popular video-sharing app, Golden Rule. After
mysteriously disappearing for a year, Jewel makes her dramatic
return with an announcement: she has chosen a few lucky Golden Rule
users to spend an unforgettable weekend at her private estate. But
once they arrive, Jewel ingeniously flips the script: the guests
are now players in an elaborate estate-wide game. And she's
tailored every challenge and obstacle to test whether they have
what it takes to win--at any cost. Told from the perspective of
three dazzling players--Nicole: the new queen of Golden Rule; Luna:
Jewel's biggest fan; and Stella: a brilliant outsider--this novel
will charm its way into your heart and keep you guessing how it all
ends because money isn't the only thing at stake. Praise for Let's

Alice is secretly asexual, and that's the least important thing
about her. She's a college student, has a great job, amazing
friends, and is fine being single - nope, that's a lie. Alice wants
rom com-grade romance: feels, cuddling, kissing, and swoons galore
- as long as it doesn't lead to having sex. When her last
relationship ends, Alice swears off relationships for good. Stick a
fork in her, she's done. Everyone Alice tries to date is so sure
love and sex have to go together, and there doesn't seem to be any
way to convince them otherwise. But when Alice meets Takumi, who
she can't stop thinking about, she doesn't know what to do. If
Alice tells him the truth, it can only end in heartache. But
there's something about Takumi that makes him worth the risk. . . .
Familiar tropes, unique twists, all the feels. Grab a snack, some
tissues, and try not to fall in love with this playful anthology
that explores or reimagines a well-known trope about love from some
of the most talented and captivating voices in the YA space today.
Each trope acts as a prompt and inspiration for a different story,
as well as serves as the main thread throughout the collection,
while also allowing each author to put their own spin on these
classic favorites that are sure to steal your heart including: *
"Enemies-to-Lovers": Two boys from rival schools are forced to
share a room the night before their championship baseball game.
What begins as their mutual nightmare just might just turn to
something more between the two of them. * "Fake Dating": Every
year, Rachel's siblings and cousins bring dates to the family
Hanukkah party, but Rachel always flies solo. Tired of everyone
asking when she's going to meet a nice Jewish boy (or girl), she
asks Matthew Klein to be her fake date. The only problem? He may
have accepted her invitation only because he has a crush on her
sister. * "Kissing Under the Influence": Two interns in the
Department for Unexplained Phenomena are assigned to investigate a
city that seems to have disappeared. Antics (including a mistaken
ensorcellment and an unexpected declaration of love) ensue.
