Moment of Truth by Kasie West

Moment of Truth by Kasie West

Beloved author Kasie West once again delivers a witty, lighthearted romance that will charm her legions of fans and is perfect for readers of Jenny Han and Huntley Fitzpatrick.

At sixteen, Hadley Moore knows exactly who she is--a swimmer who will earn a scholarship to college. Totally worth all the hard work, even if her aching shoulders don't agree.

So when a guy dressed as Hollywood's latest action hero, Heath Hall, crashes her swim meet, she isn't amused. Instead, she's determined to make sure he doesn't bother her again. Only she's not sure exactly who he is. 

The swim meet isn't the first event the imposter has interrupted, but a little digging turns up a surprising number of people who could be Heath Hall, including Hadley's ex-boyfriend and her best friend's crush. She soon finds herself getting caught up in the mysterious world of the fake Heath Hall.

As Hadley gets closer to uncovering the masked boy's identity, she also discovers some uncomfortable truths about herself--like she might resent the long shadow her late brother has cast over her family, that she isn't as happy as she pretends to be with her life choices...and that she's falling for the last guy she ever thought she would like.

• Secret Identity: A masked prankster is crashing events all over town. Hadley's determined to find out who is behind the Heath Hall mask, even if it turns out to be the annoying guy she can't stop thinking about.
• Enemies to Lovers: She can't stand the class clown who seems determined to distract her. So why does his playful charm and unexpected sincerity make her heart race?
• Coming of Age: Hadley thought she had her whole life planned, but uncovering the truth about Heath Hall means uncovering truths about herself--and the long shadow cast by her late brother.
• YA Sports Romance: Set against the backdrop of competitive high school swimming, this story explores the pressure to succeed and the sacrifices made for a dream.
