About the Book: Marnie, expelled and forced into a new school, finds her only empty seat next to Zed, a brilliant but untouchable math nerd with zero tolerance for mistakes. Marnie is an artistic girl eager to lose her virginity but terrible at math; Zed is a loner who excels at physics but hates languages. Despite being opposites, they strike an unlikely deal: a trade in tuition for the subjects they despise. What starts as a simple arrangement quickly evolves into a friendship that is tested when Marnie’s sexual encounter with a dishonest boy forces her to rely on Zed for help with the hardest, life-changing decision she will ever face
