An all-day scavenger hunt in the name of eternal small-town glory

With only a week until graduation, there’s one last thing Mary and her friends must do together: participate in the Oyster Point High Official Unofficial Senior Week Scavenger Hunt. And Mary is determined to win.

Mary lost her spot at Georgetown to self-professed “it” bully Jake Barbone, and she’s not about to lose again. But everyone is racing for the finish line with complicated motives, and the team’s all-night adventure becomes all-night drama as shifting alliances, flared tempers, and crushing crushes take over. As the items and points pile up, Mary and her team must reinvent their strategy–and themselves–in order to win.

This book looks like a fabulous book to read now that school’s out and summer is in full effect. I absolutely adored the scavenger hunts that me and my friends used to do in the summer. We used to go from place to place and collect things, sing silly songs, talk and meet so many random strangers on the street and just have an absolute blast with it all. So of course, I’m all in to read this book. It sounds like all kinds of fun and though none of my scavenger hunts with my friends ever ended with life lessons learned, it was still fun and I’m excited to read this.

The book comes out on Tuesday so mark your calendars and let’s all read this book. It’s gonna be a good one, I’m sure of it. Like the old dude said in Love, Actually, I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes. =)

..and that’s your scoop!
