Description

Seventeen-year-old Evie Beckham has always been too occupied with her love of maths and frequent battles with anxiety to really be interested in dating. Besides, she’s always found the idea of kissing to be kind of weird.

But by senior year, thanks to therapy and her support system, she’s feeling braver than before. Maybe even brave enough to enter the national math and physics competition or flirt back with the new boy.

Meanwhile, Evie’s best friend, Caleb, has always been a little in love with her. So he’s horrified when he is forced to witness Evie’s meet-cute with the new student. Desperate, Caleb uses an online forum to capture Evie’s interest—and it goes a little too well.

Now, Evie wonders how she went from eschewing romance to having to choose between two—or is it three?—boys. Discover how this mathematical journey of heart leads to unexpected paths in The Quantum Weirdness of the Almost-Kiss by Amy Parks.
