Charlotte “Charlie” Crawford is practically the definition of a nerd. She gets extraordinary grades, works at her family’s comic book store, and most importantly, she never gets into trouble—ever. Hunter Greene is supposedly the epitome of a bad-boy. He gets into fights, is on a first name basis with the school principal, and most importantly, he is infamous for breaking the rules. When Charlie is assigned to be Hunter’s tutor, she doesn’t think she will be able to handle him and his antics.

High school life is going to be one tumultuous roller coaster ride for Charlie and Hunter, but together they might be able to make it through what could be the ride of their lives—especially since they’ll be under each other’s influences.
