By Alexis Bass

If you want more, you have to give less.

 That’s the secret to dating in high school. By giving as little as they expect to get in return, seventeen-year-old Aubrey Housing and her three best friends have made it to the second semester of their senior year heartbreak-free. And it’s all thanks to a few simple rules: don’t commit, don’t be needy, and don’t give away your heart.

 So when smoking-hot Nathan Diggs transfers to Lincoln High, it shouldn’t be a big deal. At least that’s what Aubrey tells herself. But Nathan’s new-boy charm, his kindness, and his disarming honesty throw Aubrey off her game and put her in danger of breaking the most important rule of all: Don’t fall in love.

I’m in love with that cover!

That is all.

    How interesting. The "don't commit" mindset seems to be a stereotypically guy thing. Interested to see this translated to a girl.

      I like how so many books are putting new twists common gender tropes.

    I love this cover! I don't read as many contemporaries (trying to change that) but, this sounds like something I would really enjoy. I'm a sucker for sweet romance, and "Nathan’s new-boy charm, his kindness, and his disarming honesty throw Aubrey off-" sounds yummy :)

    I'm definitely excited for this one to be released! It sounds like something I'd love and I love the whole 'don't fall in love' rule. I'll be curious to see how well that rule stays throughout the book! Great pick! :)
