The Hating Game meets Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist by way of
Morgan Matson in this unforgettable romantic comedy about two rival
overachievers whose relationship completely transforms over the course
of twenty-four hours.
Today, she hates him.
It's the last day of senior year. Rowan Roth and Neil McNair have been
bitter rivals for all of high school, clashing on test scores, student
council elections, and even gym class pull-up contests. While Rowan, who
secretly wants to write romance novels, is anxious about the future,
she'd love to beat her infuriating nemesis one last time.
Tonight, she puts up with him.
When Neil is named valedictorian, Rowan has only one chance at victory:
Howl, a senior class game that takes them all over Seattle, a farewell
tour of the city she loves. But after learning a group of seniors is out
to get them, she and Neil reluctantly decide to team up until they're
the last players left--and then they'll destroy each other.
As Rowan spends more time with Neil, she realizes he's much more than
the awkward linguistics nerd she's sparred with for the past four years.
And, perhaps, this boy she claims to despise might actually be the boy
of her dreams.
Tomorrow...maybe she's already fallen for him.
