Before you
She's always been a hopeless romantic, even though love has never seemed to work in her favor. Being one of the most popular girls in school-a talented artist, a writer, and a volleyball champion-she was confident, yet still doubted anyone would truly see her beyond her looks. That is, until Nate entered the picture. Nate, the arrogant, confident final-year student, seemed to have every girl wrapped around his finger. And yet, for some reason, he set his sights on her. A chance encounter turned into bold flirtation, and now she finds herself caught between intrigue and caution. Should she give him a chance? Or is he just another heartbreaker playing a game? Between school, deep talks with her effortlessly elegant best friend Zoe, and the looming senior party she almost forgot about, things are getting interesting. And as much as she tries to play it cool, she can't ignore one undeniable fact-Nate is getting under her skin.

To give him a real challenge, his friends want him to score Asher as his own. The catch? He needs to do it before school lets out and dump Asher on prom while also completing his list of all the girls in the school. Blake agrees, thinking it would be an easy win. However, Blake is homophobic, and sleeping with a guy would never be something he would do or something he even considered... or is it? What would happen if one of Blake's previous lovers came back into his life? What would happen if Blake falls for Asher and finds himself trapped in a love triangle? What happens when everything just goes entirely wrong? This is "The Fuck List." Similar to a bucket-list, "The Fuck List" is made to be completed within a certain amount of time.
