BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Meet Jake Snyder, the ultimate playboy of Crosswell High. Handsome, rich, and dripping with sex appeal, he's a heartbreaker who doesn't believe in love-just in feeding his ego.
Jake's dating history reads like a teen rom-com bingo card: the girl-next-door, the nerd supreme, the confusing bisexual, the overachieving perfectionist, the Queen Bee, the unpredictable homeless girl, the liberated exchange student, and even a wild ride with Siamese twins.
But then there's Pepsi Lane. Just hearing her name makes Jake inexplicably thirsty, for some reason.
He's gone to great lengths to capture the attention of this enigmatic girl, but her aloofness only fuels his obsession. Rumors say she's a witch, and that anyone who gets too close might turn into a dog. Others whisper that her soul is darker than her lipstick and eyeliner. But Jake doesn't believe in fairy tales.
Pepsi is no ordinary girl; she's a force of nature, a whirlwind of mystery and magnetism. While Jake walks around like he's the puppet master, she's the one holding the strings... or is she?
She tries her very best to remain cautious, but this only serves to further ignite Jake's determination to 'conquer' her. He will never accept defeat, and he won't stop until she gets on his list, even as things start to get unusual...
What is the true story behind the mysterious freak? Will Jake risk everything for his ego? Could Pepsi be the one to finally change him?
The infamous bad boy is about to uncover the truth, and it won't be a smooth journey for sure.

"We said whoever eats the most pizza has to do the dare no matter how cruel or easy it is." This is just a glimpse of our sleepovers. Ivy and Autumn always drag me into some kind of trap to do their evil dares. Tonight, they used my worst weakness, food.
Sighing, "fine. I'll take the dare." They cheered and high-fived as I stood in front of them, glaring.
"Better not be something bad!" I blurted, making them snap out of their cheering. They looked at me with a sinister smirk. The smirk where you know their up to something. Something bad.

He's basically a emotionless, fit brick dressed up in leather. Just your typical bad boy, right?
Her life changes from late nights on Netflix to possibly going out to parties because of two guys. Conner Peterson and Bryan Jones. The most anyone can do to keep her out of trouble is to pray. Not to mention the fact that her two dearest friends are two living and breathing dare making machines. How is Jade going to make it out of her senior year alive?

PSA: this book, to say the very least, is not my proudest work. i made this when i didn't know a thing about writing, let alone writing a whole story. it's simply a book you'd read if you wanted a quick sap and not something in depth. feel free to check out my other books - they're arguably way better than this one
