Dating Game #4: Ex-Rating

By Natalie Standiford

Book Overview

Three best friends. One school dating blog. Zero chance of keeping romance, gossip, and a cranky principal under control.

Mads, Holly, and Lina are tenth graders at Rosewood School, where their class project becomes The Dating Game: a school blog packed with matchmaking quizzes, advice from the mysterious Love Ninja, and X-Ratings from people brave enough to review their exes.

Then their radio interview makes them infamous. Suddenly, everybody is reading. Parents are panicking. Principal Alvarado wants the blog gone. And keeping it alive may take more than clever quizzes--it may take a full-on student rebellion.

Meanwhile, Mads is still mooning over the school's most impossible boy, Holly is getting pulled into her boyfriend's family wedding chaos, and Lina discovers that friendship with cute, sweet Walker is getting dangerously complicated. Add one fake X-Rating, one jealous girlfriend, and a few spectacular misunderstandings, and the Dating Game gets messier by the minute.

Full of crushes, friendship drama, and laugh-out-loud school chaos, Ex-Rating is a bright teen romance for fans of Gossip Girl and stories with sharp humor--and plenty of heart.

Customer Reviews

it keeps getting better and better

In the fourth installment of the Dating Game series, Ex-Rating, Mads, Lina, and Holly struggle with more than trying to find true love. Mads is outraged when the principal of their school decides to not sponsor the web-site anymore. Mads will do almost anything to change his mind. Lina is finally over Dan, and instead realizes her feelings for Walker, but it's too late, Walker has a girlfriend. Or is it? Holly's relationship with Rob is better than ever, until she gets swept up in his sister Julia's wedding, having to make all the decisions for her, not having any time for anything else. Forget can true love survive high school... can they survive high school at all?
