Synopsis

There are more than 10 things to hate about prom, but the worst is having to convince your BFF that you’re the one he should take—a sweet friends-to-lovers teen rom-com from the author of Caught in a Bad Fauxmance

“A love story meant for the movies, with cheeky and charming nods to our favorite nineties flicks.” —K. L. Walther, bestselling author of The Summer of Broken Rules

Ivelisse Santos has had Joaquin Romero’s back since their first playdate. Not just next-door neighbors, they’re platonic soulmates.

At least, that’s what Ive thinks, until Joaquin decides to ask Tessa Hernandez, the same girl who stole Ive’s boyfriend, to prom. Sure, the head cheerleader and the star baseball player going to prom together makes more sense than Joaquin and Ivelisse—leader of tech crew—would. But that doesn’t mean it should actually happen.

What’s worse, Joaquin wants Ivelisse’s help planning an elaborate promposal. As much as she wants to say no, she'll take all the quality time with Joaquin she can get before graduation. Even if it means watching her best friend fall for somebody else. Somebody who isn’t her.

About The Author

Elle Gonzalez Rose is a producer and author from New York who’s better at writing love stories about short, queer Boricuas than she is at writing bios. Her dog thinks she’s okay. Caught in a Bad Fauxmance was her debut novel—Elle’s, not the dog’s. 10 Things I Hate About Prom is her second.

I loved the flip on 10 Things I Hate About You!!! This is basically if Michael and Cameron had been best friends for years and Michael secretly loved Cameron but now Cameron is obviously pining for Bianca (who can only now start dating bc her dad lifted the ban). In the past Chastity and Bianca were......more

Goodreads review by nitya on December 10, 2024

- best friends to lovers - mutual pining - a little miscommunication - he fell first, she fell harder - female friendships!! Maybe I read a lot of YA but this was a little predictable. The story was sweet though, and I enjoyed the dynamics between most of the characters. Also I am super glad I wasn't al......more

Goodreads review by Shannon on June 05, 2024

This was a cute friends to lovers YA romance revolving around Prom season that has one friend trying to support their other friend who wants to prompose to the girl the other's ex dumped her for. Lots of drama, shenanigans and lies that ultimately ends with the two friends getting together. Perfect......more
