Willa Liu is an expert at keeping things simple.
Her life is ordered, her books are alphabetized, and her relationship with the effortlessly cool Iris Shaw is strictly casual. A perfect system designed to protect her from messy feelings.
The system, however, did not account for Bartolomew.
When Willa's demonic cat, a creature who considers affection a personal insult, melts into a purring puddle for Iris, it shatters Willa's carefully constructed walls, leaving her with a dreadful realization: in a relationship with no strings attached, she might be the one who is hopelessly tangled.

How you get the girl
After years of being ignored and treated badly, sixteen-year-old Jaimee Bennett is sent to a remote boarding school. Not to help her, but so she can be forgotten. The school is quiet and strict, with few comforts. Then she meets her new roommate, Maxine Wood: cold, guarded, and clearly not interested in making friends at first. But once you get to know her, she is funny, sarcastic, and surprisingly loyal. As tension slowly turns into a connection, Jaimee feels something she has never felt before: care, closeness, maybe even love. But in a place where control rules everything, what grows between them could cost them everything.
