_____________________________________________

This teen soap opera is a page-turner! Isabelle just got publicly dumped by her slutty boyfriend (aka Sluttig)—right before the prom. Isabelle’s BFFs, somewhat pushy Vivi and shy Lane decide to create “Brandon” on myspace to distract Izzy from going back to her ex. When Isabelle wants to meet Brandon, Vivi and Lane have to find someone to act the part. Vivi finds Jonathan, who goes to a different school, to play Brandon. The plot thickens as Vivi starts to fall for Jonathan, and Lane’s fallen madly in love with her other best friend, Curtis. Each character narrates alternating chapter for a fun, sweet, look at the love triangles and friendship foibles that happen right before prom.
