All-Nighter - by Cecilia Vinesse (Hardcover)

About the Book

"Autumn Povitsky is a high-achieving, booked and busy, straight-A nightmare. She's currently having a crisis of self--she needs a fake ID ASAP--but because she's a total square, she has no idea where to get one. Enter buzzcut hottie Tara Esposito. She's a rule breaker and party crasher of the highest degree, and if anyone knows where to get a fake, it's her. But Tara has hung up her James Dean leather jacket for the night. If she doesn't finish this godforsaken essay that's already weeks late, she can kiss her upcoming graduation goodbye. One brainy girl who needs a fake ID before sundown. One serial rebel who needs to turn in an essay before sunrise. It's obvious what needs to happen here. But with a years-long feud keeping the girls from working together, this may be a night to forget--or one they'll remember forever"--

Autumn Povitsky is a high-achieving, booked and busy, straight-A nightmare. She's currently having a crisis of self--she needs a fake ID ASAP--but because she's a total square, she has no idea where to get one.

Enter buzzcut hottie Tara Esposito. She's a rule breaker and party crasher of the highest degree, and if anyone knows where to get a fake, it's her. But Tara has hung up her James Dean leather jacket for the night. If she doesn't finish this godforsaken essay that's already weeks late, she can kiss her upcoming graduation goodbye.

One brainy girl who needs a fake ID before sundown. One serial rebel who needs to turn in an essay before sunrise. It's obvious what needs to happen here. But with a years-long feud keeping the girls from working together, this may be a night to forget...or one they'll remember forever.

With razor-sharp dialogue and fiery tension perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli and Casey McQuiston, All-Nighter is a caffeine-fueled labyrinth of chaotic escapades--from prom after-parties to library séances to underground roller discos--led by two enemies who must decide if working together is better than their worlds falling apart.

"Reading All-Nighter feels like watching all the best teen rom-coms with your BFFs and chanting 'Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!' at the TV.

I wholeheartedly and unreservedly adored it." - Dahlia Adler, award-winning author of Going Bicoastal

"With classic rom-com elements, this story is trope-y in all the best ways. Teens will relate and connect with both protagonists who are on the precipice of what happens next after graduation, and facing all the anxiety, fear, and anticipation that comes with. A fun, sapphic page turner that's perfect for summer."
