## Description

" Reading this YA heist-gone-wrong thriller was like being strapped to the front of a Ferrari doing 120MPH. . . . This book is one. Wild. Ride. " —Matthew Landis, author of League of American Traitors and The Not-So-Boring Letters of Private NobodyScott and Winny went to the Café Flores wanting to escape their normal teen troubles; now, held hostage at gunpoint, they just want to leave alive. Perfect for fans of This is Where It Ends and Party. 10PM: Closing time at Café Flores. The door should be locked, but it isn''t. Scott Bradley and Winsome Sommervil are about to become hostages. TEN MINUTES BEFORE CLOSING: Scott''s girlfriend breaks up with him in the café''s basement storeroom because he''s late picking her up for the big end-of-the-year party. Now he can''t go to the party, but he can''t go home, either—not knowing his dad will still be in a drunken rage. Meanwhile, Winny wanted one night to let loose, away from her mother''s crushing expectations. Instead, she''s stranded at the café after her best friend ditches her in a misguided attempt at matchmaking. TEN MINUTES AFTER CLOSING: The first gunshot is fired. Someone''s dead. And if Winny, Scott, and the rest of the hostages don''t come up with a plan soon, they may not live to see morning. Told from both Winny and Scott''s perspectives, and alternating between the events leading up to and following the hold-up, Ten After Closing is an explosive story of teens wrestling with their own challenges, thrown into circumstances that will test their very limits.
