"Marie and Nathalie are the queens of make-believe. They've run through every scenario that is possible, somewhat plausible, or frankly unbelievable: secret-agent ninjas launching a surprise-attack on an ice-cream stand, super-heroes hell-bent on making country music disappear, even lost astronauts condemned to spend millions of light-years in another dimension. The name of the game? "What If We Were..." But all of this was a mere prelude to "What If We Were... For Real!" This new version is just like the classic game, minus the mental gymnastics of thinking up fantasy scenarios. Because now Marie and Nathalie's wildest fantasies are coming true... for real!" -- page 4 of cover.

"Nathalie and Marie are 17 years old and best friends. Since elementary school, they've battled boredom by playing a special game: What if we were... The rules are simple : one player names a topic -- fruit! spies! Vikings! -- and then both players imagine what life would be like as that subject. Easy to play, but hard to master. A boring player will give a boring answer. An expert player will know how to think outside the box and surprise their opponent. And after all these years, Nathalie and Marie are experts! But what if... a new player joined their game? And what if... she was really hot?? It'll take more than imagination for Nat and Marie to survive the next round with their hearts intact!"--Provided by publisher.

"Summer 1994: with just two months left before college, Elodie is forced by her mother to take a job as a camp counselor. She doesn't know the first thing about nature, or sports, of kids for that matter, and isn't especially interested in learning... but now she's responsible for a foul-mouthed horde of red-headed girls who just might win her over, whether she likes it or not. Just as Elodie starts getting used to her new environment, though--and close to one of the other counselors--a dark mystery lurking around the camp begins to haunt her dreams"--Provided by publisher.
