Perfect for fans of Stephanie Perkins, Sarah Dessen, and Susane
Colasanti, The Art of Lainey tells the story of how, with the help of
The Art of War, Lainey plots the perfect plan to get her boyfriend
back. But is getting him back really what she wants?
Soccer star Lainey Mitchell is gearing up to spend an epic summer with
her amazing boyfriend, Jason, when he suddenly breaks up with her--no
reasons, no warnings, and in public no less! Lainey is more than
crushed, but with help from her friend Bianca, she resolves to do
whatever it takes to get Jason back.
And that's when Lainey and Bianca stumble across a copy of The Art of
War. With just one glance, the girls are sure they can use the book to
lure Jason back into Lainey's arms. So Lainey channels her inner
warlord, recruiting spies to gather intel and persuading her coworker
Micah to pose as her new boyfriend to make Jason jealous.
After a few "dates," it looks like her plan is going to work! But now
her relationship with Micah is starting to feel like more than just a
game. Can fighting for what she wants help Lainey figure out what she
really needs?
