Download the app. Be the judge.

Everyone at Linden's high school is obsessed with Worthy. It's this new app that posts pictures of couples, and asks: Is the girl worthy of the guy?

Suddenly, relationships implode as the votes climb and the comments get real ugly real fast.

At first, Linden is focused on other things. Like cute Alex Rivera. Prom committee. Her writing. But soon she's intrigued by Worthy. Who's posting the pictures? Who's voting? And what will happen when the spotlight turns... on Linden?

Reviews

Praise for Worthy:

"Cooner's book addresses real issues in teens' lives -- Internet culture, online apps, communication, dating -- in a way that is relatable. Themes of self-esteem and online bullying are woven throughout, but Linden's growth into a more confident young woman demonstrates the value of not judging yourself by other people's standards. This title will have wide appeal; it is timely and easy to read." -- VOYA

"This novel is an enjoyable read with pertinent messages for adolescents about modern dating culture and social media." -- School Library Journal

"A girl struggling to find her own voice learns how to speak like herself." -- Kirkus Reviews
