Mackenzie and Logan are THE it couple right now at Smith High, which is weird because Mackenzie is queen of the geeks and Logan is destined for Prom King, but now that these two have hit it off, maybe anything can happen! Mackenzie’s best friend, Melanie, was supposed to be set up with Logan’s best friend, Spencer but Melanie has someone else in mind and can’t think of a way to tell Mackenzie “Sorry Mackenzie. I’d just rather date your little brother than your boyfriend’s best friend. That’s fine with you right?” (pg. 14) When Melanie ditches her friend Isobel with Spencer to chase after Mackenzie’s brother, Isobel finds herself trying to figure out why Spencer even wants to hang out with her. When he asks her to prom, she thinks “It had to be some kind of setup... Geeky girl goes to prom only to find out that it was one big joke cooked up by the popular kids at her high school” (pg 109). Well, Isobel plays along because her favorite band has announced that will play at her prom because the lead singer is dating Smith High’s very own Corey O’Neal! Will Corey be able to come to terms with Tim’s rockstar lifestyle AND handle the strain of homophobic protesters outside his own prom? Will Melanie ever be able to follow her heart? Will Isobel find out what Spencer’s real motives are? Find out if everyone gets their Awkwardly Ever After.
