Love and Other Theories
Love and Other Theories is a fast-paced twist on the coming-of-age novel and the romantic comedy that Kirkus Reviews called "careful, subtle, and aching" in a starred review.
Aubrey and her best friends made a pact to play by the guys' rules when it comes to dating. They're hoping the rules will keep them from experiencing high school heartbreak — they don't realize that these rules could just as easily keep them from opening their hearts and minds.
And when new boy Nathan Diggs moves to town, Aubrey starts to think that some rules are meant to be broken.
