Don "TheDragonWilson" Jones, is a karate fighter. A really good one, until he gets knocked out of the ring by Sam Steadman, a girl whom he falls madly in love with at first sight. She has a super mean ex boyfriend, and he has a psycho drug cartel ex girlfriend, so the prom they attend together becomes a slugfest for survival.
I liked the book more than I thought. While the plot is mostly kicking butt at a prom and trying to survive, the art is fun and engaging. The story moves along at a breakneck pace (literally) and the author must love drawing fight scenes. If there really was this much violence at a prom, dances would be banned in all 50 states. This is a fast read you will finish in one sitting. While race is not specifically spelled out, Don and Sam seem to be an interracial couple and there are many ethnicities drawn.
