Wren really does ruin it all/He is a very unlucky unlikable whiny character who apparently hates the Valentine Day dance for two reasons, a waste of money and the romance/raging hormones of his classmates because he is asexual.  But here is the thing his asexuality is mentioned a couple of times but never done well for you to understand what asexual is if this is their first time reading about ace spectrum.

Wren complains, that his dad for his likes and ways, hates all holidays it seems (every holiday brought up he had a reason not to like it), and is self-centered. His grand idea of being school president is to end the most beloved dance and then because of the Buddy App being used to fund the dance he wants to ask someone to go to the dance so on top of everything he is, you can add hypocrite.  

At least I am done with this audiobook.  The narration was on par but can not save the wren.
