Take it as a fast-moving school-and-relationships story involving event planning, competing loyalties, secrets and questions about appearances.
Halloween is coming and everyone knows what that means: costume party! For Brooklyn Prescott, the best thing about being the new school liaison was supposed to be planning the Halloween dance. Who doesn't want to escape herself, even if it's just for one night? But The Rosewood School for Academic Excellence has banned costumes and now Brooklyn's faced with the possibility of her first event being a total flop. Not to mention that she's planning the dance with Dave, the sexy and neglected boyfriend of her roommate, Emmie. Awkward! It's not like planning the dance is her only concern either.

Rosewood bans costumes while Brooklyn is responsible for planning its Halloween dance, creating tension between an institutional rule and a shared celebration.
Notice the costume ban, Brooklyn’s wish to escape herself, possible embarrassment about the event, collaboration with Emmie’s boyfriend, several romantic complications, a potentially career-ending coach scandal and Jared’s unexplained disappearance. Their intensity and resolution are unknown.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; the book’s treatment of its main themes is not yet firm enough.
