"For seventeen-year old Bree Hughes, keeping calm is easier said than done when gossip, grief, and the opportunity to fail at love are practically high-fiving her in the hallways of Belmont High. When Bee's crush, Sean Mills, gives her his phone number, she can't even leave a voicemail without sounding like a freak. Then she's asked to be on Prom Court because Maisey Morgan, the school outcast nominated as a joke, declined. She apologizes to Maisey, but it's too late. After years of torment and an ugly secret shared with their class's cruel Pageant Queen, Maisey commits suicide. Bree is left with a lot of regret...and a revealing letter with afinal request. With Sean by her side, Bree navigates through her guilt, her parents' divorce, and all the Prom Court drama. But when a cheating love triangle secret hits the fan after a night of sex, drinks, and video games, she's left with new information about Sean and the class Pageant Queen. Bree must speak up or stay silent. IF she lets fear be her guide, she'll lose her first love and head to Prom to avenge the death of the school outcast as a party of one."--Inside dust jacket flap.
