Alison Sanger and Ethan Molloy have competed on almost everything: AP classes, the school paper, community service. Both over-achieving seniors have their sights on valedictorian and Harvard, so they share all the same classes and extracurriculars. When the principal assigns them the task of co-planning a previous class's ten-year reunion, with the promise of a recommendation for Harvard if they do, Ethan and Alison are willing to endure one more activity together if it means beating the other out of the lead. As tension between them builds, Alison fights the growing realization that the only thing she wants more than winning... is Ethan. -- adapted from jacket
