"From the New York Times bestselling author of the Brown Sisters trilogy, comes a laugh-out-loud story about a quirky content creator and a clean-cut athlete testing their abilities to survive the great outdoors--and each other. Bradley Graeme is pretty much perfect. He's a star football player, manages his OCD well (enough), and comes out on top in all his classes . . . except the ones he shares with his ex-best friend, Celine. Celine Bangura is conspiracy-theory-obsessed. Social media followers eat up her takes on everything from UFOs to holiday overconsumption--yet, she's still not cool enough for the popular kids' table. Which is why Brad abandoned her for the in-crowd years ago. (At least, that's how Celine sees it.) These days, there's nothing between them other than petty insults and academic rivalry. So when Celine signs up for a survival course in the woods, she's surprised to find Brad right beside her. Forced to work as a team for the chance to win a grand prize, these two teens must trudge through not just mud and dirt but their messy past. And as this adventure brings them closer together, they begin to remember the good bits of their history. But has too much time passed . . . or just enough to spark a whole new kind of relationship?"--

Chapter OneCeline
It s the first day of school and I m already being forced to socialize.
I m dead serious, Nicky Cassidy says, his eyes wide and his acid-wash shirt stained with what looks like tomato sauce. Juice WRLD is alive, Celine. The planet needs to know.
My TikTok account has 19,806 followers @HowCeline SeesIt, feel free to take me to 20K so God knows how I m supposed to inform the entire planet of anything. Besides, I make videos about UFOs and vaccines (conclusion: I believe in both) and that guy who hijacked a plane and literally vanished with the ransom money. I don t make videos about people s tragic deaths because it s rude and tacky.
Also, I don t take requests. For God s sake, I am a conspiracy theorist. There must be some glamor in that, or else what s the point?
Sorry, Nicky, I reply. Still no.
He is appalled by my lack of sensitivity to his cause. You re joking.
Almost never.
Fine. If you don t want to tell the truth, I ll do it. Your TikTok s shit anyway. He storms off, leaving me to cross campus on my own.
So much for Mum s hope that I ll make more friends this year.
Oh well. I inhale the warm September air and stride through the school s higgledy-piggledy pathways alone. Rosewood Academy is a rambling maze, but this is my final year, so I know it like I know Beyoncé s discography. It takes five minutes to reach the Beech Hut aka our sixth-form common area/cafeteria, a tiny, musty building that begs to be knocked down. I snag my usual table by the noticeboard and get on with the very important business of ignoring everyone around me.
I m on my phone stitching together some footage of cows that I filmed this weekend for a video about the possibility of cannibalistic bovine overlords running the beef industry when my best friend slides into the chair beside me and waves a glossy leaflet in my face.
Have you seen this? Michaela demands, her pink curls vibrating with

excitement.
I haven t, I say, and if you put my eye out with it, I never will.
Don t be miserable. Look. She slams down the flyer and crows, Katharine Breakspeare! Then she clicks her tongue piercing against her teeth, which is Minnie s personal version of a mic drop.
It works. I fall all over that shiny piece of paper like it s a plate of nachos.
There she is: Katharine Breakspeare, her wide mouth severe (no ladylike smiles for Katharine, thank you very much) and her hair perfectly blown out. They did a whole article in Vogue about that blowout, which is ridiculous considering Katharine s famous for her trailblazing career in human rights law. Commentators call this woman the James Bond of the courtroom because she s so damn cool; she s won at least three internationally significant, high-profile cases in the last five years; she bought her mother an entire compound back in Jamaica to retire to. And Vogue is talking about her hair. I mean, yes, the hair is gorgeous, but come on, people.
Katharine Breakspeare is the blueprint and one day I m going to be her, building my mum a house in Sierra Leone.
My eyes narrow as I study the leaflet. Apply for the Breakspeare Enrichment Program, I read. Her nature bootcamp thing? But that s only for undergrads.
Not anymore. Minnie grins, tapping the words in front of us. Award-winning enrichment program no

Praise for Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute:A zippy rom-com with strong characterization, bursting with Gen Z approved verbal sparring and stolen kisses. Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
