I loved that this was good for lower teen, but something about the writing didn't massively speak to me. It was cute and fun though, and will definitely appeal to plenty of teenagers!

Prom-Wrecked starts off with the kids who attended prom sitting in a jail cell. Then the story picks up by explaining the two months that led up to the situation. The story is told from two points of view - Riley's and Catherine's (Riley's former best friend). Riley is trying to save the prom from being canceled, so she enlists the help of her friends, her enemy, and her secret crush to help out. They go through a lot of trials in order to pull off this prom, and basically anything that can go wrong, does! This was an easy read and I enjoyed it. I particularly enjoyed the dual POVs.

enior prom scramble.
Hamilton High's prom has been cancelled, supposedly due to lack of interest, and the head of the committee doesn't want to try get it back.
Senior Riley Hart steps in to try to make a magical night for herself and her classmates. Except it seems like the universe is determined to stop her. She asks her friends and even her ex-BFF-turned-enemy to pitch in to help to possibly pull anything together.
It's a cute high school story full of misunderstandings, miscommunication, overachievers, and puppy dog eyes.
3.5 rounded up.

I wasn’t able to read this one as I have not been able to download a copy. As I was bot able to read the book, I will still give it a five star review because it was not the author’s fault.

"Prom Wreck" was a fun YA story following a group of students who attend their Prom aka "morp" and end up in an unfortunate situation. This story was told from two points of view which made the story quick to read. Overall, it was a fun story and would be a good one to pick up during the spring season.

This was a super cute read. I finished it fairly quickly. And loved the character development.
I definitely enjoyed it

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. When prom is in danger of being cancelled, Riley takes command of the planning committee and gets her friends, enemy, and secret crush to help out. The group go through a lot of drama trying to get it together, but learn a lot about friendship and loyalty along the way. I loved the way this story came together and the dueling points of view. I felt like it really gave me a chance to get to know the characters. There were laugh out loud moments and plenty of cringe-worthy moments (in the very best way!) and I totally recommend this book!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book received through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I love proms, maybe because it is a foreign concept to me, but if I find a book about teenage romance and friendship and drama that also talks about a prom, I automatically click on it. Prom-Wrecked is about a group of teenagers, all of them representing the usual high school stereotypes, who try to save their prom. However, they would have never thought that they would end up spending the night in jail. As cliché as the story might sound -and be-, it was interesting enough to grab my attention.

Prom-Wrecked starts at the end of the plot, when everything has gone wrong, but we soon go back in time to learn how did it actually happen. While the author's writing is not remarkable, it is not needed. The plot was interesting and funny, the story was filled with hilarious bits where if something could go wrong, it did. The characters were compelling, the story is written in two points of view: Riley's and Cat's, two former best friends. When prom is cancelled, Riley, who is used to melt into the background, decides to take charge for once and give everyone, but specially Owen, her crush, the prom they wished for. Cat is the popular girl who, underneath her perfect image, hides a flawed interior. There are also Owen, Cat's boyfriend and Riley's crush, and Jordon, who grows closer to Cat working for prom.

Prom-Wrecked is a fun book with plenty of teenage drama and romance. It is not ground-breaking, but very enjoyable if you are looking for a light summer read.

I appreciate having had an opportunity to read and review this book. The appeal of this particular book was not evident to me, and if I cannot file a generally positive review I prefer simply to advise the publisher to that effect and file no review at all.

I must be the wrong audience for Prom=Wrecked cause this one just didn't work for me. I ended up not finishing it.

Thank you NetGalley and Publisher for the early copy!

I could not connect with the main plot and writing style so I decided to put this one down.

"Their prom night ended in a jail cell with forty of their closest friends. But that’s hardly the worst thing that happened to them…"

This story takes you on the journey of how Riley and several others end up in jail on prom night. It was a fun read and I enjoy how the story and characters progressed.

This was a fun easy read with plenty of teen hi-jinx. This was nothing groundbreaking but if you're looking for a fun light read then check this one out.

“This can’t be happening. I’m Cursed. I’m the Albus Severus Potter of the muggle world” – Riley Hart.

I liked Riley and Cathrine a lot, and the change between them was also pretty fun. Though I kind of found myself shipping Riley with Owen rather than Cathrine, don’t get me wrong, it’s nothing wrong with Cat at all. I just thought they’d be cute together. Anyway, this was a very fun and easy read, I was cheering for them to get their morp I – mean Prom! Hehe :p all the way, and honestly I could’nt put the book down and had to see it through all the way. But then Jordon came in, and I shipped him and Cat so hard. I made internal squeals of happiness. It was just adorable, funny and cute – honestly a perfect read!

I have voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of this title given to me via NetGalley. This book was just so good. I loved getting to enter this new world and meet these new wonderful characters. I just fell in love with this story and these characters and I am so excited to see what this author writes next.

I think this is a more of a it's not you it's me kind of book, I probably should of known going into this that maybe I wouldn't be able to relate to certain aspects of the book. It was enjoyable I can't deny that however and enjoyed seeing the two different POVS!

I missed downloading the book due to not knowing I had been approved for it. However My Feedback ratio is usually at 100% and I didn’t want to screw that up so my review is going to be me telling you that I messed up by not downloading it. The description is very good, and it sounds like it’s an excellent book but like I said I forgot to download it so five stars.

This was a little different type of book. About a boy wanting to be a girl and how his best friend/ love interests handles it. It was a good read. I felt for the character and what they had to deal with throughout the story.

Prom wasn’t supposed to end in a jail cell. Riley Hart is the co-chair, the vice president, the planner for more clubs and student organizations than anyone cares to count. But when senior prom is cancelled due to lack of interest and funding, she has to step up for the first time in her high school career. With the help of her gaming buddy, the utterly off limits Owen Locklear, she’s going to make prom memorable for everyone involved. Missing deposits, elderly musicians, uncertain community donors, missing deposits, or even venue destroying acts of nature or not there will be prom.

T.H, Hernandez and Jennifer DiGiovanni did a number of nifty things with Prom-Wrecked. The split point of view between advertised protagonist Riley and her former best friend Catherine showing the reader different aspects of prom planning and the various characters is used fantastically. Add on to that, both points of view feel like very different coming of age stories that complement each other well. It was a really fun read.

One thing that I think worked to the book’s favor was the bit at the beginning where the reader is shown how prom ended. All the major characters are in jail, a number of them are roughed up, and the reader knows nothing about how a high school prom went so wrong that it ended up like this. Roll back to the day that prom’s cancelation is announced and read every bit of everything going wrong and the kids in the jail cell trying to make it work anyway. It simultaneously takes away the worry about Riley and company failing while also promising ridiculous events on the way there.

The two separate coming of age stories thing that I mentioned earlier is also worth noting. Both Riley and Catherine are sort of stuck in their respective social niches. Riley is in everything but avoids leading anything until the prom committee, while Catherine is one of the popular girls but stuck with friends she isn’t really friends with and trapped by her mother’s expectations. One has to learn to lead and deal with other people’s expectations, the other has to learn to embrace what she enjoys despite expectations. It works. More so, it works while still feeling like a single cohesive story rather than two partial stories stitched together.

Extra special bonus points to the Catherine chapters. As the former best friend who dumped the protagonist to hang out with the popular girls, she could have easily been a one note mean girl character. Having her be the deuteragonist neatly avoids that, gives the story a character who’s invested in prom happening and has the connections to attempt things that Riley couldn’t, and makes the love story bits more interesting and satisfying. She might actually be my favorite character.

The romance aspect that generally is something that elicits an eye roll and a fair amount of disinterest in both YA and contemporary novels is present here. And it did initially get an eye roll. But then something happened. Riley kept a lid on her crush on Owen and was as good a friend as she could be, supporting his relationship with Catherine and joking around with him, listening to his ideas for Morp and spinning them into something workable. It’s a lot of fun and leaves him the one pining for what can’t be. More even than that, on Catherine’s side of things we have her realizing that her relationship with Owen isn’t what either of them really wants. The lack of an antagonist within the romance narrative works for me really well, as does the way Riley and Owen and Owen and Catherine feel like friends who care about each other instead of points on a triangle.

If I have one quibble, it’s with a bit towards the end where better communication could have avoided a lot of stress for a number of characters. But that feels both in character and like it paid off pretty well, so it’s kind of a nothing issue. If I have a second one, it’s that some of the music references felt kind of forced. That might have just been because I’d only heard of a third or so of the artists referenced though.

So, Hernandez and DiGiovanni’s Prom-Wrecked is very much not my usual cup of tea, being a YA contemporary romantic tragicomedy about the rise and fall of a canceled senior prom. It’s not the kind of book I would usually pick up or, really, give much thought. But it was absolutely the book I needed to break myself out of my reading slump. Prom-Wrecked was just fun and I’m ready to look for other things either author has written. Five out of five.

Riley Hart is the type of girl who likes to have everything organized and be on all the committees and help where she can but doesn't want to be the one in charge. She would rather be in the background and not the face of it all. That is until she is called into the principal's office and given an ultimatum to either help save the Prom or for the first time in the history of their high school it is canceled. Riley calls on the help of her friends and frenemies to join the prom committee, but as they go along trying to save the Prom and get everything organized, it looks like someone is out to sabotage it. First, they lose the money for their venue and then every time they think they have a handle on something going well for the Prom - the minute they turn their backs it has been destroyed, and they are back to square one. This happens for most of the book until they manage to secure an excellent venue and dates etc. but of course what's a wrecked prom without mayhem and chaos as this will definitely for Riley and her friends be a night they will never forget. Prom Wrecked was one of those fun YA novels that reminded me of Jennifer Lynn Barnes Little White Lies.
