Smash it!

2022
"After Liv shows up to a Halloween party in khaki shorts--why, God, why?--she decides to set aside her wack AF ways. She makes a list--a F*ck-It list. 1. Be bold--do the things that scare me. 2. Lean to take a compliment. 3. Stand out instead of back. She kicks it off by trying out for the school musical, saying yes to a date and making new friends. However, with change comes a lot of missteps, and being bold means following her heart. So what happens when Liv's heart is interested in three different guys--and two of them are her best friends?"--Back cover.

What role will Zack end up playing on stage . . . and in his life?"--Back cover.
