For Elizabeth Harper, the universe has always made sense through equations and logic. She is the girl who finds order in chaos, who believes every problem has a solution. But the heart of Clark Kent-her best friend and childhood neighbor-is a chaotic variable she cannot solve. When he asks for help to win over Lana Lang, Beth agrees, disguising her own desire for Clark under the logical pretext of applying a 'scientific method' to the problem, treating their kisses as a controlled experiment. The result, however, is an explosion of data she cannot predict: primitive jealousy, buried secrets, and an attraction that defies any law of physics. It is a journey about a girl who tries to control the uncontrollable, only to discover that the most powerful-and devastating-emotions are those that defy any formula.
Hope you guys have a blast reading this! Feel free to picture Superman as Tom Welling or David Corenswet-honestly, I'm not picky, they're both stupidly gorgeous.
