About the book
Sixteen Candles meets Sliding Doors in this hilariously charming and irreverent YA debut. Fans of realistic teen fiction like Lauren Barnholdt's Two-Way Street and Sarah Mlynowski's Ten Things We Did (And Probably Shouldn't Have) will love Ask Again Later's pitch-perfect tale of prom night drama—with a twist.
Heart LaCoeur has zero interest in a messy high-school romance, no matter what her name suggests. That's why she's decided to avoid prom angst by going with a group of single friends. And that's why, when two surprise prom invites derail her brilliant plan, Heart takes the only foolproof, drama-free solution: a coin flip—that somehow gives her the chance to live out both prom nights. Heads or tails, where they both end up might be the most surprising thing of all. . . .
- Sliding Doors Story: One coin flip. Two possible proms. Heart LaCoeur is about to live out both realities, but neither night will go according to plan.
- Prom Night Drama: Between a pity date with her brother’s heartbroken friend and a platonic night with a theater techie, Heart’s “No Drama Prom-a” plan is officially dead on arrival.
- Friends to Lovers: She thinks she’s sworn off romance, but a slow-burn connection with a close friend—who isn’t either of her dates—might be the biggest surprise of the night.
- Witty Heroine: Perfect for fans of funny teen books, Heart’s snarky, relatable voice makes every disaster—from a ripped dress to a terrible kiss—hilariously unforgettable.
