Ava, the football coach's daughter, is drafted as the "Wild Card" into the date auction fundraiser known as Prom Bowl; quarterback Mark is dating her but can't afford to bid on her. Though this is a breezy read, different narrators (Ava, Mark, and other characters) provide varied perspectives on a tradition some find problematic and on the difficulties inherent in making waves.
