24 Girls in 7 Days by Alex Bradley
Jack Grammar, average American senior, has no date to the prom. Or so he thinks. Percy and Natalie, Jack's so-called best friends, posted an ad in the classified section of the online version of the school newspaper. They figured it couldn't hurt-after all, there's not much in this world sadder than Jack's love life. Soon Percy and Natalie have assembled a list of girls eager to go to the prom with Jack, including one mysterious girl known only as FancyPants. He has just seven days to meet and date them before he will ask one special girl to the prom.
Newcomer Alex Bradley shares a fresh and funny boy perspective in a genre dominated by girls. With snappy dialogue and hip, smart writing, this is a hilarious take on the trauma and pageantry that is prom.

So, which book should I read next?
How fun!!! I love your idea! I might have to try it out!
ReplyDeleteI voted for Candor, because while the cover threw me off the plot sounds fascinating and I've got it on hold myself. However, because of you I now have 24 Girls in 7 days on my tbr list along with Wounded.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
LOL, they all look so wonderful... I voted for Leviathan because that's the only one I've heard of so far. XD I've been hearing great things about it. Almost all of the reviews I've read so far seem to think it's an amazing book! I'll be looking forward to your thoughts on whichever book you chose to read next. :D
ReplyDeleteI voted Leviathan because I loved it; otherwise, I would have loved Candor because I have it on my TBR pile, too, and it sounds really good!
ReplyDeleteI've got Leviathan in my TBR pile at the moment, and they all sound awesome, but I have to say that Wounded really caught my attention there. :)
