When you're on the edge of senior year in a tiny dead-end town, it's easy to get tunnel vision. Unfortunately for Quinn, his hopes of getting out of Pine Crest with the girl of his dreams are swiftly crushed by every loser's nightmare: a cute guy in leather.
***
Ever since he was twelve, local cryptozoology nerd Quinn Campbell has had three recurring daydreams: Mothman terrorizing his highschool, finally getting a picture of Bigfoot, and marrying his childhood best friend, Daniela Ryder, on a beach far, far away from here. Then the new kid in town, Eira Slate, shows up swinging - earning himself detention with Dani and the reputation of 'bad boy heartthrob' quicker than Quinn can say "phony."
Now he needs to debunk every reason for his six-year crush to go for the rebel, but his investigation might be interrupted by the mystery of why Eira keeps showing up everywhere he doesn't want him. Including his head.
