Blurb:
College was supposed to be my chance to get over my ugly-duckling complex and spread my wings. Instead, I wound up in a sorority full of mean girls. I already have a hard time fitting in, so when my Kappa Chi sisters issue the challenge, I can’t say no.
The dare: seduce the hottest new hockey player in the junior class.
Conor Edwards is a regular at Greek Row parties…and in Greek Row sorority beds. He’s the one you fall for before you learn that guys like him don’t give girls like me a second glance. Except Mr Popular throws me for a loop—rather than laughing in my face, he does me a solid by letting me take him upstairs to pretend we’re getting busy.
Even crazier, now he wants to keep pretending. Turns out Conor loves games, and he thinks it’s fun to pull the wool over my frenemies’ eyes.
But resisting his easy charm and surfer-boy hotness is darn near impossible. Though I’m realising there’s much more to Conor’s story than his fan club can see.
And the longer this silly ruse goes on, the greater the danger of it all blowing up in my face.

Book Quotes:
- “Sometimes we make all the wrong decisions, end up in all the wrong places, and still find exactly where we’re supposed to be.”
- “Assuming I’ve done something wrong, that I’m not good enough, is the first place my head always goes.”
- “I truly believe that all body types are beautiful. It’s only when I look in the mirror that I forget.”
- “Society tells boys to divide and conquer, and tells girls to save ourselves for some younger future version of our father. Just doing some quick math in my head and…yep, that comes out to a bunch of hypocritical bullshit. Your self-worth is not tied up in your vagina or how many girls came before you.”
- “Buy a man flowers, at least. Or hell, lead off with a good joke. But it is what it is, I suppose.”
- “I realize now that the damage is done, that no matter the grand gestures and sincere apologies, sometimes you hurt people too much and push them too far. There’s a limit to what you can ask someone to endure for your bullshit.”
- “You’re ridiculously attractive, Taylor.” This time when he speaks, I don’t doubt his sincerity, if perhaps his sanity. I suppose someone like him doesn’t get around so much by being picky. “Don’t spend any more time believing otherwise.”
- “Because whoever is torturing this poor girl is certainly watching us right now and they can eat shit. “Lead the way, babe.”
- “Women are supposed to be soft and curvy and squeezable. I’m not sure when they were brainwashed into thinking otherwise.”
- “I had hoped for sisterhood and got season one of Scream Queens with my very own Chanel Number One instead.”
