Wren Martin Ruins It All

Wren Martin has just been elected student council president at Rapture High, and he has a plan to fix the school. First on his list is scrapping the annual Valentine's Day dance. He sees it as a waste of money and a social minefield, especially for someone who is asexual.

His rival, vice president Leo Reyes, outplays him. Leo lands a sponsorship from Buddy, an anonymous app that bills itself as "not a dating" service, and Wren ends up running the largest dance the school has ever held.

Then Wren signs up for the app himself, in secret, and tells himself it is only research. He is soon attached to his anonymous match. Years ago he decided that dating as an asexual teenager was more trouble than it was worth, and those feelings test that conclusion.

As the dance gets closer, Wren has to question what he assumes about love. He also begins to suspect that Leo's polished life has cracks he has not seen. This is a contemporary young adult romantic comedy with a school setting, an enemies-to-something-else rivalry, and an asexual protagonist at the center.
