Goodreads Synopsis:
Practice makes perfect...or so she thought.
Nobody likes Cody Matthews, including Cody Matthews. And why should they? He got his high school girlfriend pregnant and then almost killed them both while driving drunk. That’s why he’s perfect for Hannah. She’d never fall for someone like him.
Hannah Stark is a high school senior with a resume of straight A’s. She’s never stepped a toe out of line. But that’s also why she’s never had a boyfriend. While all her classmates are counting down the days until graduation, Hannah is dragging her feet. She can’t believe she’ll be leaving her adolescence behind without ever taking a chance to be wild and free. That’s why she’s set her sights on Harrison.
Harrison Cohl is everything Hannah wants to be. Gorgeous, wealthy, popular and wild. He’s also notorious for the legendary masquerade ball he throws every year. And this year Hannah is determined to be invited. And have Harrison as her date.
Her plan is crazy. But she’s convinced she just needs a little practice to make her high school résumé perfect.

5 out of 5 stars!
Review:
Okay, so apparently my reading streak is two for two for freaking AMAZING books this year! To be completely honest, I read this book in only a day and a half, not giving myself any breaks to stop and write down or mark any of my favorite quotes, so I apologize that I don't have that section in this review!
I, in all honesty, did not expect this book to be as amazing as it was. I'm fairly sure that this was the first contemporary book that Christina has written, so I was just expecting it to be another light, fun young adult romance read with cliche quotes and a sappy, happy ending.
I COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE WRONG!
What I got instead was a plot-twist-filled, suspenseful, sexually frustrating, tempting, tense (both romantic- and action-wise) book that kept me utterly hooked. At moment, I caught myself holding my breath because of how drawn into the book I was. And, let me just tell you now that the ending will have you gripping your e-reader or physical book for dear life until the very last sentence.
Congratulations, Christina on yet ANOTHER fantastic book!
(I received an Advanced Reader Copy of this book in exchange for an honest review).
Recommend?
Yes, but, as with the previous review, for MATURE audiences only due to strong language and sexual references, as well as an intense scene near the end of the book.
