It's Senior Party Week, the magical time between after classes has ended but before graduation. It's filled with get together, parties, and last - minute bonding. Olivia is excited to start her next steps at LSU and give her speech as the class salutatorian.
As Olivia begins to celebrate with her family, she receives an email about a missing P.E. form. If Olivia doesn't get the form signed in time, she won't graduate with the rest of her friends. She realizes she has only one week to set things straight without letting her family know. Olivia decides to volunteer at a local golf tournament to help get her needed credit. However, her phone is equipped with a tracking app so, her mom will know her every move. She realizes the only way she can pull it off if she asks for help from the Fab Four. Will Olivia be able to pull off her stunt before anyone else finds out?
I read the author's previous book, 10 Blind Dates and I liked it. This book had the same basic formula but, it failed to keep my attention. The book was very predictable and I had a hard time connecting with the characters. I find it hard that a scholar who is dedicated to her schoolwork wouldn't put much thought into a course she took or even kept ditching the class. Olivia was constantly late and disappointing the coach even though she got a second chance. I also felt that it was unrealistic how much her mom texted her and kept tabs on her. Overall, this book seem had a lot of "fake drama" to create story.

This companion to Ashley Elston's beloved 10 Blind Dates follows
Sophie's high-achieving cousin Olivia as she juggles last-minute P.E. credit,
end-of-year parties, and a secret new romance in the chaotic week before
graduation.
It's Senior Party Week, that magical in-between time after classes have
ended but before graduation, chock-full of gimmicky theme parties, last-minute
bonding, and family traditions. Olivia couldn't be more ready. Class
salutatorian and confident in her future at LSU, she's poised to sail through
to the next phase of her life.
But when the tiny hiccup of an unsigned off-campus P.E. form puts Olivia
in danger of not graduating at all, she has one week to set things straight
without tipping off her very big and very nosy extended family. Volunteering to
help at a local golf tournament should do it, but since Olivia's mom equipped
her phone with a tracking app, there'll be no hiding the fact that she's at the
golf course instead of all the graduation parties happening at the same time.
Unless, that is, she can convince the Fab Four--her ride-or-die cousins and
best friends Sophie, Charlie, and Wes--to trade phones with her as they go
through the motions of playing Olivia for the week.

it makes it glitter all the more."—Booklist

know your family."—Kirkus Reviews
"In a funny holiday romance that has Sophie dog-sitting in a hockey rink,
watching porn at a drive-in theater, and playing the Virgin Mary in a middle
