Despite what her name might suggest, Heart has zero interest in complicated romance. So when her brilliant plan to go to prom with a group of friends is disrupted by two surprise invites, Heart knows there's only one drama-free solution: flip a coin.

Heads: The jock. He might spend all night staring at his ex or throw up in the limo, but how bad can her brother's best friend really be?

Tails: The theater geek...with a secret. What could be better than a guy who shares all Heart's interests--even if he wants to share all his feelings?

Heart's simple coin flip has somehow given her the chance to live out both dates. But where her prom night ends up might be the most surprising thing of all...

Have you ever picked up a book and from the very first page you know you’re going to love it? That’s exactly how I was with this book. I knew from the very first page I was not going to be able to put the book down easily.

Ask Again Later is about a girl Heart, who has been asked to prom by two guys. The first guy is a techie, Ryan, who is in the closet and wanted to spend prom night with a friend. And then there was Troy, Heart’s brother’s friend who just got dumped by his girlfriend. Heart who was supposed to attend prom with her friends, the no drama prom-a, and now has to decide who to attend prom with. She decides to let fate take the wheel and flips a coin to decide who to say yes to. The story then continues going back and forth between how prom would have panned out with both dates with a surprising end for Heart.

Man this book was hilarious! It was so fun seeing how both dates would have panned out for Heart. Both dates definitely brought their A game on being entertaining dates that is for sure. Troy the jock, was an awful date, getting drunk and dealing with his ex-girlfriend being there with some new guy and then Ryan, the closet gay, who doesn’t like to dance at all. Heart was bound to have an eventful, maybe not so great, but definitely entertaining prom night with either boy she would have chosen. Either one she would have picked would have still landed her to the same after prom events where of course more drama ensues, but for the greater good. It was fast paced and very engaging from the first page to the very last page.

I would most definitely recommend this book, it was highly entertainment. I personally couldn’t put it down, I was having a blast reading Heart’s prom and thanked god my prom didn’t end up as awful as hers.
