For Kip, Anne, Beth Rose, Emily, and Molly, it’s the perfect end to their junior year. The night they’ve been waiting for—a night to wish upon a star. Kip just got the ultimate kiss-off: Her boyfriend, Mike, suddenly wants to be “just friends.” At the start of junior year, Anne and Conrad were Westerly High’s most popular couple. Now everything’s different, and Anne wonders if the whole school knows her secret. Beth Rose was a perennial wallflower before she met Gary. She’s crazy about him, but he’s never once said the L-word. Emily’s life just fell apart, and all she wants is for Matt to make the pain go away. Molly’s furious that Con is taking Anne to the dance when she knows he really loves her. She’s about to plot the perfect revenge . . . For five very different girls, it’s a dance they’ll always remember. Will it be a night of love—or loneliness? An ending—or a new beginning?
