One Promise. One Click. One Big Mistake.

Lovy Prentiss has it all-beauty, brains, and a killer jump shot. She's confident, popular, and totally in control of her world.

Until she isn't.

While her teacher reads a classic children's story in class, Lovy drifts into her own world-a world where basketball, friendships, and social status matter way more than old books.

But one moment of bad luck, one questionable deal, and suddenly, Lovy is stuck. Stuck with the last person she ever wanted to befriend. Stuck with a promise she never meant to make. And stuck wondering if her carefully built popularity can survive this disaster.

Dodging rumors, avoiding her friends, and pretending she doesn't care, Lovy quickly realizes that promises-no matter how annoying-have a way of changing everything.

A funny, heartfelt story about friendship, middle school survival, and learning to see people in a whole new way-because sometimes, real life is stranger than fiction. Or maybe... fiction isn't so different from real life after all?

���� Perfect for kids who love humor, school drama, and unexpected friendships.
