โฆ Synopsis
From School Library Journal
Grade 710Senior Hailey Kendrick is student government vice-president at her exclusive boarding school and she dates the most popular boy at Evesham. All about impressing her high-powered doctor father, she's a straight-A student and follows every rule to the letter. One night after her aloof father changes their plans to spend the summer together yet again, she sneaks out of her dorm room after curfew, kisses a boy who is not her boyfriend, and gets caught vandalizing the school statue. As punishment, Hailey is assigned janitorial duty, and the entire school is put on lock down until she agrees to to tell who was with her. Mitigating circumstances make it impossible for her to reveal his identity. But now that Hailey has fallen from her perch of perfection, she begins to see things a little differently. She learns, with the help of the good-looking janitor she's assigned to help, that rules shouldn't always be followed...even when you're the one making them. Hailey is a likable character, and the events leading up to and away from her episode of vandalism are believable. Her emotions ring true as well, whether it's anger at her father or frustration at the restrictions she's placed on herself. The plot develops quickly, and readers will be madly flipping pages to find out what happens next._Heather Miller Cover, Homewood Public Library, AL_

Review
"Cook effectively builds both Hailey's (justified) feelings of rebellion and the social dynamics of her ostracism, especially in her growing friendship with a challenging townie, Drew, who supervises her punishment working with the janitorial staff....Cook coaxes considerable empathy for the otherwise privileged Hailey as she abandons the achievement treadmill to explore her independence." --_Publishers Weekly_
- "Hailey may be an A student headed to the Ivy League, but when it comes to taking a chance on life, shes clueless. Shes also enormously appealing and great company throughout this breezy read. Yes, its chick lit, but of the highest qualitylike a gourmet truffle. Cook has whipped up a real treat. --Kirkus starred review
