The Hating Game meets Nick and
Norah’s Infinite Playlist by way of Morgan Matson
in this unforgettable romantic comedy about two rival
overachievers whose relationship completely transforms over
the course of twenty-four hours.
Today, she hates him.
It’s the
last day of senior year. Rowan Roth and Neil McNair have
been bitter rivals for all of high school, clashing on test
scores, student council elections, and even gym class pull-
up contests. While Rowan, who secretly wants to write
romance novels, is anxious about the future, she’d
love to beat her infuriating nemesis one last time.
Tonight, she puts up with him.
When
Neil is named valedictorian, Rowan has only one chance at
victory: Howl, a senior class game that takes them all over
Seattle, a farewell tour of the city she loves. But after
learning a group of seniors is out to get them, she and Neil
reluctantly decide to team up until they’re the last
players left—and then they’ll destroy each
other.
As Rowan spends more time with Neil, she
realizes he’s much more than the awkward linguistics
nerd she’s sparred with for the past four years. And,
perhaps, this boy she claims to despise might actually be
the boy of her dreams.
