ALICE DYSON knows exactly how shell spend her final year of high school: head down, avoiding all attention while concentrating on her work and her perfect plans for the future. That is, until a silly, out-of-character moment with Teddy Taualai, the schools notorious troublemaker, goes viral, derailing her plans and pushing her into the spotlight. Suddenly Alices quiet, orderly life has turned into an improvised dance of beach trips, museum visits, and parties. And the worst part? Teddy Taualai is everywhere she turns, and always a step ahead. Poppy Nwosus pitch-perfect debut novel explores the ever-tricky dance of staying true to yourself while opening your heart to the queasy, disorienting power of first love as it sweeps you up and spins you away from your carefully choreographed life
