Reader Question – Solved! The book about the guy that decides on who to give a rose, to “jumpstart” her popularity.

Mharis needs our book help! Older YA and dark romance lovers… I bet you’ll know this one!! I definitely have not read it yet…

She asks:

Hi Maryse!

I’ve read this book and I can’t remember the title.

All I can remember was they were highschool students and a guy decides on who to give this rose to “jumpstart” her popularity. If I remember correctly, the guys have sex with whomever the rose is given to. The hero is an athlete, soccer I think. It’s dark and angsty.

That’s it. I can’t remember the title. I’m into teen angst right now and I want to revisit that book again. read more
