Bookroo's summary

Avery has lost her best friend to the popular crowd, so she pins her hopes on Blake, the new stepsister her own age. When Blake becomes friends with Avery's old best friend instead, Avery uses the eighth-grade charity project, an online matchmaking service, to pair Blake with the most popular boy in school. But the matches come out wrong: Avery is the one paired with him, and the class advisor knows someone tampered with the program.

From the publisher

Avery LaDuke is in the market for a new best friend. Her former BFF, Sophie Burns, dumped her to hang out with the popular crowd at school. But the good news Avery's getting a new sister who's bound to be her new BFF too! Blake is her age and she's from New York. How cool is that? But things don't go quite as smoothly as Avery hoped. And what's with Blake becoming BFFs with Sophie? Huh That wasn't supposed to happen! When Avery gets put in charge of the eighth grade charity project, an on-line matchmaking service, she thinks she can use this project to get Blake back on her side. She decides to fix the matches so that Blake gets matched with Sam, the most popular boy in school, but when the matches come out something has gone seriously wrong! Not only is Avery matched with Sam, but the class advisor knows that someone tampered with the program. On top of that, Avery discovers that she actually kind of, sort of, likes Sam . . . and he likes her back. Torn between the guy she likes and her sister/best friend, Avery is left wondering: is there any possible way she can keep them both?
