"A boy stepped in, and the class went silent. Like literally, if I dropped my hairband right now, it would make more sound than a gun. I could feel every guy eyeing this guy up and every girl thinking, “Please be single, please be my boyfriend”. I mean, this guy was perfect: his brown hair was impeccably floppy, his eyes were a vibrant green, and the goofy, lopsided smile was enough to make every girl in the classroom swoon, and I would be too, if I wasn’t already used to building up walls against it.
Wait what? No… It wasn’t possible. No, this couldn’t be happening. I could feel my heart beating as if I’d just run a marathon ten times. My palms got sweaty.
Oh no. It was him, and I was in big trouble again.
Charlie Garfeld."
Two years ago, Eliza Taylor, nerdy but popular, had her heart was broken. Her best friend, who she trusted and loved, dated the guy she'd been crushing on since she could remember: Charlie Garfeld. When he left to move to San Francisco, she separated herself from popularity and took her nerdy self more seriously.
This September, Eliza is determined to make things change, loses her glasses and braces, and starts off the new year with hopes for a better life.
But what she isn't expecting is the return of Charlie, her best guy friend and crush, and as she is swept away by his looks and humour, what she doesn't realise that the events that happened two years ago are threatening to make a reappearance.
