Sixteen Candles meets Sliding Doors in this hilariously charming and irreverent YA debut. Fans of realistic teen fiction like Lauren Barnholdt's Two-Way Street and Sarah Mlynowski's Ten Things We Did (And Probably Shouldn't Have) will love Ask Again Later's pitch-perfect tale of prom night drama—with a twist. Heart LaCoeur has zero interest in a messy high-school romance, no matter what her name suggests. That's why she's decided to avoid prom angst by going with a group of single friends. And that's why, when two surprise prom invites derail her brilliant plan, Heart takes the only foolproof, drama-free solution: a coin flip—that somehow gives her the chance to live out both prom nights. Heads or tails, where they both end up might be the most surprising thing of all. . . .

Top Five Things That Are Ruining Chloe's Day 5) Working the 6:30 a.m. shift at GoodFoods Market 4) Crashing a cart into a customer's car right in front of her snarky coworker Sammi 3) Trying to rock the "drowned rat" look after being caught in a snowstorm 2) Making zero progress with her crush, Tyson (see #3) 1) Being accused—along with her fellow teenage employees— of stealing upwards of $10,000 Chloe would rather be anywhere than locked in work jail (aka the break room) with five of her coworkers . . . even if one of them is Tyson. But if they can band together to clear their names, what looks like a total disaster might just make Chloe's list of Top Ten Best Moments.

A gripping narrative unfolds as a protagonist embarks on a two-week journey to reclaim a lifetime of lost memories, guided by just seven photographs. The story explores themes of nostalgia, identity, and the emotional weight of the past, as each image triggers profound reflections and connections. As the character navigates through challenges and revelations, the quest becomes not only about recovering memories but also about understanding oneself and the impact of those moments on their present life.
