Red Flags
Description
This delightful YA rom-com debut follows two teens who are dared by their friends to stick with the next person they date instead of bailing at the first sign of a minor red flag. Perfect for fans of Jennifer Dugan and Lynn Painter
Poppy is known for her high standards. Why bother with relationships when boys don’t ever seem to live up to her expectations? One red flag and she’s out.
Cam is known for quickly developing the ick. He’s never dated anyone for long-a week here, a month there, but he always gets spooked.
When Poppy’s friends challenge her to give someone a chance for two whole months, Poppy decides that Cam (her mysterious bus crush) could be the best of an underwhelming bunch. But Cam’s been set his own challenge: he’s banned from ending things in his next relationship . . . and that means he’s ready to do whatever he can to put Poppy off.
Neither Poppy nor Cam want it to work . . . until it does. Despite their flaws, they just might find that there’s a lot to love.
