This book is packed with humor. Every character is well developed and has their complexities. --School Library Journal
Steve Stevenson is a jerk. That might not be a cool thing to say about someone with cancer, but it's true. Yeah, he throws legendary parties and is the most popular guy in school, but he also loves humiliating pranks and Cardi B, and he doesn't recycle. Worst of all, he's dating Kaia--the girl of nice guy Cam's dreams.
But when a desperate Kaia asks Cam to help her raise money to pay for Steve's experimental treatment, Cam offers to organize the biggest, most viral fundraising campaign. Maybe then Kaia will finally see Cam as the perfect, thoughtful, altruistic, good guy for her.
But Steve's no fool. He's totally on to Cam's plan. And to stop him from stealing his girlfriend, he's going to do whatever it takes to make Cam's life as miserable as his own.
From Jenni Hendriks and Ted Caplan, authors of Unpregnant, comes a quirky, funny story about living up to other people's expectations and what it really means to do the right thing.
One fundraiser. Two sworn rivals. And a girl who has no idea what's happening behind the scenes.
- The Bad Boy vs. The Nice Guy: Steve is the most popular guy in school. Cam recycles. When they're forced to work together to save Steve's life, their battle for Kaia's heart goes nuclear.
- Dark Comedy for Teens: A laugh-out-loud story that finds humor in the darkest of places, proving that even a cancer diagnosis can't stop an epic prank war.
- A Twist on the Cancer Love Story: Perfect for fans of John Green, this novel flips the script on the typical sick-lit romance, asking what it really means to be a hero when no one is perfect.
- Hilarious High School Hijinks: From viral fundraising stunts gone wrong to epic revenge plots, Cam and Steve's rivalry is as heartfelt as it is unforgettable.
