A gritty read for a woke generation. -KIRKUS At Jonesville High,
casual misogyny runs rampant, slut-shaming is a given, and school
athletes are glorified above all else. Best friends Suze, Nikki,
Ani, and Lydia swear they'll always have each other's backs against
predatory guys-so when Suze suddenly starts dating wrestling star
and toxic douchebag Tarkin Shaw, it's a big betrayal. Turns out,
it's not a relationship-it's blackmail. At first, Suze feels like
she has no choice but to go along with it, but when Tarkin starts
demanding more, she enlists the help of intelligent misfits DeShawn
and Marcus to beat Tarkin at his own game. As Marcus points out,
what could possibly go wrong? The answer: everything. And by the
time the teens realize they're fighting against forces much bigger
than the Tarkin Shaws of the world, losing isn't an option.

Set in the future when teenagers are monitored via camera and their
recorded actions and confessions plugged into a computer program
that determines their ability to succeed. All kids given a "score"
that determines their future potential. This score can get kids
into colleges, grant scholarships, or destroy all hope for the
above. "Scored"'s reluctant heroine is Imani, a girl whose high
score is brought down when her best friend's score plummets. Where
do you draw the line between doing what feels morally right and
what can mean your future? Friendship, romance, loyalty, family,
human connection and human value: all are questioned in this fresh
and compelling dystopian novel set in the scarily forseeable
future.
