The New Guy (and Other Senior Year Distractions)
Description
Filled with romance, rivalry, and passive-aggressive dog walking, Amy Spalding delivers a hilariously relatable story about how even the best-laid plans sometimes need to be rewritten.
What’s the only thing that could derail overachiever Jules’s perfect senior year? Alex Powell–former member of boy-band sensation Chaos 4 All and newest transfer to Eagle Vista Academy.
Alex seems cool enough when he starts spending time with Jules. In fact, he turns out to be quite the romantic (not to mention a killer kisser). And after getting over the initial shock that someone like Alex might actually like like her, Jules accepts that having a boyfriend could be a nice addition to her packed schedule. That is, until Alex commits the ultimate betrayal, which threatens to ruin her high school career, and possibly her entire future.
This. Means. War.

Jules has two moms and is constantly breaking stereotypes, especially ones involving gender roles. It's really inspiring and nice to see in YA. - Emily, Paging Serenity'](https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/HBGSites_NOVL_TheNewGuy_IG02.jpg)
