"Amy Middleton isn't in love with Leo Prince. Not yet. The Senior Year Ball is days away, and he still hasn't agreed to be her date. But Amy can imagine it all in advance: a night of supreme perfection. She'll bask in the spotlight in her silver stilettos and designer dress-rose quartz fabric, mermaid skirt, illusion bodice with beaded lace-and when the music starts, Leo will lead her onto the dance floor and into their shining adult lives. When he finally says yes, success seems assured, and the night belongs to Amy, arriving on Leo's tuxedoed arm as planned. But with the buzz of an unexpected text, nothing that happens next will be as it seems-least of all Amy's carefully choreographed love story. In their second novel, acclaimed mother-daughter duo Angourie Rice and Kate Rice draw on pacy journal entries, interviews, texts, and school newsletters to reconstruct a night gone terribly and hilariously wrong. Touching on themes of privacy, social media, and predatory relationships, Operation: School Ball is a deliciously dark comedy of errors about unrequited love, manipulation, misunderstandings, student protests, and the tragic fate of one innocent bystander of a goat"--Provided by publisher.
