Publisher Description
Ferris Bueller meets Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist in this fun-filled romp through the city that never sleeps, from the New York Times-bestselling author of Since You've Been Gone.
Two girls.
One night.
ZERO PHONES.
Kat and Stevie – best friends, theatre kids, polar opposites – have snuck away from the suburbs to spend a night in New York City. The plan is simple: see a play, eat at NYC’s hottest restaurant and have the best night ever!
What isn't in the plan:
Lost phones.
A massive fight.
A Pomeranian named Brad.
Losing each other.
Now, alone in New York City without money or phones, Kat and Stevie have to figure out what to do next. But there's a dog to return, a reservation to make, a party to crash and a very cute boy to kiss.
And if they manage to do all that, they might just find their way back to each other before the clock in Grand Central strikes midnight . . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
On the day the cast list for the school play should be up, but isn't, Kat decides to ensure she's cast by persuading best friend Stevie to travel from their affluent Connect-icut suburb to New York City, where Kat secretly plans for them to see the play their drama teacher has written and directed. But the trip is plagued with disasters, including a lost cell phone, a huge fight, getting separated, and Stevie—a dog-phobe—being stuck with her stepsister's Pomeranian. The high school seniors, both white, detail their adventures and mishaps in alternating chapters that pick up steam as the book continues. Matson (Save the Date) interweaves romance, family relationships, secrets and growing self-knowledge, and even a missing masterpiece into the intricately plotted book. The adventures of another friend, who's stuck with Kat's hilariously deadpan babysitting charges, initially seem extraneous, but add a charming, harebrained quality to this jam-packed tale of a long night that brings two friends closer to each other and their true selves. Ages 12–up.
