When high school seniors Dessy and Veronica arrive in Prague for prestigious college writers program led by Veronica’s novelist mother, their priorities aren’t quite in sync. Dessy, still fragile from a recent jilting, has come to heal her broken heart and hone her writing skills. (Not that strapping creative writing majors aren’t welcome company.) Her gorgeous best friend Veronica, on the other hand, has just inexplicably dumped her devoted boyfriend and plans to blow off the workshop. Leave the craft of fiction to egomaniacs like her mom. Veronica aims to master a different art—boys.

To Dessy’s dismay, Veronica gets right to work on her “man-wall”—one paper cutout for every hot-dude she meets—and zealously embarks on her mission to cover one entire wall of their dorm with hot-dudes by the end of the program. In spite of herself, Dessy sometimes wonders if her friend might be some kind of genius. Veronica’s man-wall is blossoming like mad, and thanks to her heart-breaker’s sage guidance, it looks like Dessy might have a real shot at beguiling her #1 hot-dude, Waller Dudek. At other times, Veronica seems more like an agent of chaos. By the end of their first week, a homicidal suitemate is bent on killing Veronica and Dessy, Operation Waller has taken an absurd turn, and both girls are hiding secrets that could wreck their friendship.

Well, no one ever said heartbreaking was a simple art...
