Red Flags Get 20% OFF across the Scholastic Shop by Sophie Jo (author)

Neither Poppy nor Cam want it to work … until it does.
“A well-observed romp underpinned by good advice.” – Sunday Times

“A romantic comedy with substance.” – Irish Times

“adorable and hilarious” – Beth Reekles
Poppy is known for her high standards. Why bother with relationships when boys don’t ever seem to live up to her expectations? One red flag and she’s out.
Cam is known for quickly developing the ick. He’s never dated anyone for long – a week here, a month there, but he always spooks.
When Poppy’s friends challenge her to give someone a chance for two whole months, Poppy decides that Cam (her mysterious bus crush) could be the best of an underwhelming bunch. But Cam’s been set his own challenge: he’s banned from ending things in his next relationship … and that means he’s ready to do whatever he can to put Poppy off.
Two skeptics. Two months. And this time, neither of them can disappear the moment they spot something they don’t like…
