At 17, Kate Delvecchio has one goal in life: to become a millionaire before the age of 20. And as far as she’s concerned, college will only slow her down. Unfortunately for Kate, the one thing her parents do agree on is that they totally disagree with her strategy. And so the deal is born. If Kate can raise five thousand big ones by graduation day, her parents will hand over the balance of her college account to invest as she pleases. No college, no degree, and no way she’ll ever be able to pull it off. But when Kate accidentally agrees to go to the sports banquet with the hottest guy at school, she stumbles upon a possible cash cow. The rest of the junior class is amazed that no-nonsense Kate could hook such a hottie, and one by one they approach her for help hooking their own. She doesn’t know anything about getting guys, but for $100 a pop, she’s more than willing to invent a six-step plan for How to Hook a Hottie. And how could that possibly backfire?

      Gr 7-10-After Brandon asks 17-year-old Kate, the Future Business Leaders of America copresident, to be his date at the sports banquet, she enjoys popularity and notoriety. Surprised that she could land the school's most eligible bachelor, and certain that she has some kind of trade secret for scoring dates, her classmates begin asking her for advice. Sensing a business opportunity, Kate and her friend Jason launch a matchmaking service based on what Kate terms a "Six Point Plan: A Hexagon for Hooking Hotties." Ferraro's novel is a romance in the style of the offerings from Smoochya and "Simon Romantic Comedies." Secondary plots involve Kate's dream of becoming a millionaire by age 20, her relationship with her estranged mother, and her concern for the girl she babysits, who has problems with her own family. While these add variety to the story, the emphasis is on the dating business, and Kate's growing feelings for Jason. The first-person narrative moves quickly though superficially; the secondary plots are never explored in any great depth, making the conclusionin which all of these narrative strands are resolvedfeel a bit too pat. Still, romance novels are inherently fantasies of a sort and, as such, Ferraro's book is satisfying."Amy S. Pattee, Simmons College, Boston"

      Kate scores a date with a jock and discovers popularity. A money-obsessed entrepreneur, she also finds that her classmates are willing to pay for her (made-up) formula to "hook a hottie." But while matching people up, she completely misses the affections of her best friend. Though the plot's been done, Kate's business-minded approach to high school gives it some life.
