Inventing a formula to predict peopleās perfect partners doesnāt equate to love in this contemporary YA novel that New York Times bestsellers Rachael Lippincott and Alyson Derrick call āhonest, raw, and breathtakingly real.ā
College freshman Grace Tang never meant to rewrite the rules of love. She came to college to move on from a grief-stricken senior year and to start anew. So she follows a predictable routine: Attend class, study, go home and visit her dad every weekend. She doesnāt leave any room in her life for outliers or anomalies.
Then, Grace comes up with an algorithm for her statistics class to pair students with their perfect romantic partners. Though some people are skeptical, like Julia, Graceās prickly coworker, Grace is confident that her program will take all the drama out of relationships. Thatās why she keeps trying to make things work with her match, a guy named Jamie. But as the semester goes on and she grows closer to Julia, Grace starts to question who sheās really attracted to.
In award-winning author Christina Liās YA debut, Grace will have to make a choice between the tidy equations she knows will protect her from heartbreak or the possibility that true love doesnāt follow any formula.
