Rowan Roth has battled Neil McNair through four years of high school competition. They've clashed over test scores, student council races, and gym class contests. On their last day as seniors, Rowan dreams of writing romance novels but worries about her future. When Neil becomes valedictorian, Rowan sees one final chance to win against him in Howl, a citywide senior game across Seattle. Other students target both of them during the game. Rowan and Neil form an uneasy alliance to survive until only they remain as competitors. As they move through the city together, Rowan discovers Neil is more than the linguistics student she thought she knew. The boy she believed she hated might be exactly who she's been looking for.
