Publisher's summary

A riveting, swoon-worthy teen romance centered on two high achievers fighting for the title of high school valedictorian and falling in love along the way, from debut author Danielle Parker.

Sasha Johnson-Sun might not know everything—like how to fully heal after her dad’s passing or how many more Saturdays her mom can spend cleaning houses. But the one thing Sasha is certain of? She will graduate this year as Skyline High’s class valedictorian.

At least, she was sure before the principal calls Sasha and her cute, effortlessly gifted ex-best friend, Ezra Davis-Goldberg, into his office to deliver earth-shattering news: they’re tied for valedictorian and the scholarship attached…

This outcome can’t be left to chance. So, Sasha and Ezra agree on a best-of-three, winner-take-all academic bet. As they go head-to-head, they are forced not only to reexamine why they drifted apart but also to figure out who they’ve become since. With her future hanging in the balance, Sasha must choose: honor her family’s sacrifices by winning (at all costs) or give her heart a shot at finding happiness?

Nice Plot, But That Robotic Narrator Ruined It..

I guess the book had a good message although I was barely concentrating through it all
The story is about Sasha, who wants to make her family proud no matter what, so she pours herself into school work, but to her surprise, her senior year grades are the same as another student, Izra, her ex-best friend, both of them are competing for first place because they both want a scholarship for college, so they make a bet, whoever get the most grades for the rest of the year will win the title fair and square .. but what happens when they find love along the way ?
the book had a nice enough feel to it, but nothing I will remember, I finished the book yesterday and I just remembered to review it, it's that forgettable
I guess if wasn't for that robotic narrator I would've enjoyed the book more, she was so monotone that I half slept throughout the book, maybe reading it would've had a slightly different experience
