THE BOYFRIEND APP

Katie Sise

A breezy, modern-day love story featuring a high-tech Cupid: an app that turns any boy into your love-slave… with highly unpredictable results.
Audrey feels most at home in the computer lab: she has a real gift as a tech genius. But it would be nice, just once, to catch the eye of a real boy—instead of geeky (but sweet) Justin. She knows she’ll never meet a guy who understands her—in high school or anywhere in her small hometown. When Audrey hears that the Persimmon Corporation (the computing global giant that introduced the world to the BuyPod, the BuyPhone, and, of course, the BuyPad) is offering a scholarship for the best mobile phone application developed by a high-school student, she is determined to win the prize money. Enter the Boyfriend App—a tool that turns any boy into your love slave. And it works! From the hot star athlete to the cutest boy in the music program, all the boys are in love with Audrey—but only for a couple of hours while the app lasts. At first it’s great to have boys slavering over her and her friends. But pretty soon the most popular girls are not so happy that their boyfriends are neglecting them for a computer nerd—especially Blake, the queen bee of the school. For a while Audrey couldn’t care less, but then things get the tiniest bit out of hand—and Audrey finds herself in big trouble. How will Audrey and the Boyfriend App survive a showdown with the (evil) Persimmon tech guru and CEO? And when will she realize that she doesn’t need technology to find love? This fun teen adventure is a romance for the iPhone-generation. Katie Sise Sweeney has ghost-written bestselling novels under another name, one of which was at #2 on the New York Times Bestseller list. She also writes for Harlequin and designs jewelry in her spare time. This is her first novel for teens under her own name;? she is already writing the second “App” novel.
