Publisher Description
Meet the girl who’s “Most Likely to Make Everything Worse.”
TV writer Ellie Jenkins worked her butt off to put her nerdy, outcast teen years behind her. So there’s a certain delicious irony in that she works for a hit show about popular high school kids when she was So. Not. Cool. And now she’s been offered the promotion of a lifetime—if she attends her reunion. But Ellie’s memory of High School Hell isn’t nearly as traumatic as the reality . . .
No one at the reunion is what Ellie expected. Not her ex-best friend, who still has the ability to see right through Ellie. And not her secret crush, who has only gotten hotter, sexier, and way more complicated. The only way she’s going to survive this whole weird ordeal is by fixing her bad high school karma, kissing the boy who got away, and getting the hell out of Ohio for good. But Ellie’s discovering that in real life, she can’t just rewrite the script.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Fulton and McClaren (who previously collaborated on the YA novel Horror Hotel) bring the banter in this hilarious second-chance romance. Ellie Jenkins hated high school. She never fit in with the popular crowd and she missed her chance at getting close to her cool kid crush, Mark Wright. Now Ellie has a job writing for the hit teen TV show Cooler Than You, but her writing is a shade too cynical to fit the series' tone. To get her inspired, Ellie's boss forces her to participate in her 10-year high school reunion, bribing her with the possibility of a promotion. Ellie's initially determined to show up and leave as quickly as possible, but her work friends make her a reunion bucket list to help Ellie prove to everyone—especially Mark, whom Ellie has never gotten over—that she is, as the title states, cool now. The list, which puts Ellie in competition with the winners of yearbook superlatives for items like "have better hair than Best Hair," is fun but makes for a sometimes repetitive plot. It's the standout heroine who save the day, with the authors' voicey writing bringing Ellie to life. Romance readers will have a blast.
