Publisher Description
From the bestselling author of The Summer of Broken Rules comes a new coming-of-age romance about senior year, first love, and finding yourself.
Lily Hopper has two more weeks until she’s officially finished with boarding school. With graduation quickly approaching Lily is worried that she’s somehow missed out on the fun of being in high school. So, when she receives a mysterious note inviting her to join the anonymous senior class Jester in executing the end-of-year prank, Lily sees her chance to put her goody-two-shoes reputation behind her.
When Lily realizes the Jester is none other than Taggart Swell, her ex- boyfriend, she’s already in too deep to back out. Lily might’ve dumped Tag, but she still has major feelings. Plus, his brilliant plan to steal the school's yearbooks, targets none other than Lily’s prom date: the Senior Class President, Daniel.
As the group of pranksters hide cryptic clues across campus for Daniel to find, Lily and Tag find themselves in close quarters. As the exes dodge Campus Safety guards, night owl teachers, a troop of freshmen, and even Daniel himself, new sparks fly. But old hurts and painful secrets refuse to be ignored. And with graduation on the horizon, Lily can only hope that breaking the rules will help mend her heart.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
High schooler Lily is just 12 days away from the end of senior year when she receives a ransom-style note from anonymous classmate the Jester, inviting her to participate in the annual senior prank. After spending four years cultivating the perfect student persona—exacerbated by pressures stemming from her mother's teaching role at her Rhode Island prep school—Lily is excited to shake things up and agrees to help. The night of the secret rendezvous, Lily, along with other carefully selected seniors, learns that the Jester is Lily's ex-boyfriend Tag, a reveal that prompts unease in Lily. Tag informs the group that they're to steal an important item from narcissistic senior class president Daniel, who is also Lily's prom date, and send him on a scavenger hunt to find it. Armed with keys she stole from her mother, Lily pairs up with Tag to hide clues for Daniel around campus. As the duo dodge school security, faculty members, and fellow students out after curfew, old feelings resurface. Walther (The Summer of Broken Rules) fills this edge-of-summer rom-com with mischief and mayhem, delivering swift action and a swoony second-chance romance perfect for soon-to-be-grads suffering from senioritis. Ages 14–up.
