Now in paperback, a heartfelt YA rom-com about smart girls,
love-struck boys, and quantum theory
Seventeen-year-old Evie Beckham has never been interested in dating.
She's fully occupied by her love of math and her frequent battles with
anxiety. Besides, she's always found the idea of kissing to be kind of
weird and pretty unsanitary, when you think about it. But with the help
of her therapist and her support system, she's feeling braver. Maybe
even brave enough to enter a prestigious physics competition or to say
yes to the new boy who's been flirting with her. Evie's best friend,
Caleb, has always been a little in love with Evie, and though he knows
she isn't ready for romance, he hopes that when she is, she'll choose
him. So Caleb is horrified when he is forced to witness Evie's meet-cute
with a floppy-haired, mathematically gifted transfer student. In
desperation, Caleb decides to use an online forum to capture Evie's
interest. When it goes better than he could've wished for, he wonders if
it's possible to be jealous of himself. And Evie wonders how she went
from eschewing romance to having to choose between two--or is it
three?--boys.
