#scandal
Author: Sarah Ockler
Genre: YA Contemporary
Release Date: June 17, 2014
Publisher: Simon Pulse
Description:
Lucy’s learned some important lessons from
tabloid darling Jayla Heart’s all-too-public blunders: Avoid the
spotlight, don’t feed the Internet trolls, and keep your secrets secret.
The policy has served Lucy well all through high school, so when her
best friend Ellie gets sick before prom and begs her to step in as
Cole’s date, she accepts with a smile, silencing about ten different
reservations. Like the one where she’d rather stay home shredding online
zombies. And the one where she hates playing dress-up. And especially
the one where she’s been secretly in love with Cole since the dawn of
time.
When Cole surprises her at the after party with a kiss under the stars, it’s everything Lucy has ever dreamed of… and the biggest BFF deal-breaker ever. Despite Cole’s lingering sweetness, Lucy knows they’ll have to ’fess up to Ellie. But before they get the chance, Lucy’s own Facebook profile mysteriously explodes with compromising pics of her and Cole, along with tons of other students’ party indiscretions. Tagged. Liked. And furiously viral.
By Monday morning, Lucy’s been branded a slut, a backstabber, and a narc, mired in a tabloid-worthy scandal just weeks before graduation.
Lucy’s been battling undead masses online long enough to know there’s only one way to survive a disaster of this magnitude: Stand up and fight. Game plan? Uncover and expose the Facebook hacker, win back her best friend’s trust, and graduate with a clean slate.
There’s just one snag—Cole. Turns out Lucy’s not the only one who’s been harboring unrequited love…
