The name's Delilah Calvin. In 1963, I- ha no. You know that incredibly quiet girl you see smiling from across the room with her face shoved in a book, ignoring everything and everyone in her surrounding? Yeah.That's not me. Don't get me wrong! I love my books and shoving my face in them, but I'm not the type of nerd to shut the outdoor world out. Nope! I'm the Nerdy Weirdo.
Moving to a state across the nation was far from easy for Delilah. Leaving her friends, house, school, and neighborhood was a bite in the butt. She wasn't only a nerd, weirdo, nerdy weirdo; she was also the new girl. Cliché combination, huh? It doesn't stop there! She lives across from the school badass Colton Ross.
He's cocky, she's fiesty. He's mean, she's nice. He fights, she sings. He's popular, she's new. He's the badass, she's the nerd. But most importantly, they're both weird. Mix the nerdy weirdo, the badass, and some chocolate; you get a taste of the bizarre story of the
Nerdy Wierdo.

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . .
*****
After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
