Emerson Castell loves facts. Enjoying the how and why of everything, she never fails to let her obsession seep into every aspect of her life, including her relationships - or lack thereof.

Leo Caruso is no stranger to a busy social life, but after his emotionally absent father ships him off to live with his grandparents a few states away, peace and quiet is all he craves. His plans are simple: survive senior year and never see this town again afterwards. 
  
Until the curly-headed encyclopedia enters his path with a proposition to change his life - and maybe hers too along the way. Except Emerson's big idea never said anything about love...and their lonely hearts start falling fast.All Rights Reserved
