How to Quit Your Crush

By: Amy Fellner Dominy

Narrated by: Samantha Cook, James Fouhey

Mai Senn knows Anthony Adams is no good for her—no matter how hard she might crush on him. She's valedictorian; he's a surf bum. She's got plans, he's got his art. Complete opposites in every way. Vinegar and baking soda, they once joked. A chemical reaction that bubbled.

Yeah, they bubbled. Maybe still do.

Good thing Anthony's got the perfect plan: two weeks to prove just how not good they are together. Whoever can come up with the worst date—something the other will seriously hate, proving how incompatible they truly are—wins.

Like taking a snake-phobe to the Reptile House at the zoo (his idea).

Or a cooking class where they don't even get to eat the food (her idea).

It's all about the competition, and it's meant to help them finally crush their crushes. But it wasn't supposed to be so hot. Or so fun. And when Mai's future becomes at stake, will she be able to do the right thing and quit Anthony forever?

such a cute story

this makes me think of life as a teenager -- very authentic in the drama, the pressure to be what your parents want, the expectations you feel like everyone has for you & the pressure you unknowingly put on yourself to live up to all that even if it makes you miserable &/or crazy. from the vantage point of a 45 year old I can see where the misunderstanding & the pressures took on a life if their own - if only the ones this happens to could see that when it happens they could avoid so much heartache IRL but then would make for a short boring AF story.
