Waiting for excitement is a hard thing to do. Especially when you're Noa King, the girl who has a so-called "guy's name" and is rumored to "summon spirits". Having an intimidating demeanor and pale skin doesn't help much either.
And then there's Charlie, the delinquent who's actually pretty smart, who is forced to join his ELA teacher's club--the book club. It's no ordinary club, because there's Noa . . . and there's no reading whatsoever yet.
When what seems to be "certain death" (one of Noa's crazy exaggerations) upon this pair takes action, Noa is forced to undergo many measures and even discover something she never expected to even encounter. Love.
So who knows what's in store for these two? Oh, wait. I do.

Twenty years of experiments attempting to recreate the chemistry of that kiss have gotten him nowhere but frustrated and he's about to resign himself to a life without relationship fireworks when an invitation to his high school reunion steels his resolve to get answers once and for all. Accompanied by his binge-drinking best buddy, Martin, he heads home to grill his lovely suspects only to find his skills better put to use in solving the disappearance of an old friend's father and the sabotaging of a maple farm. Thwarted by a shady detective, distracted by a former classmate's troubled sister, will Charlie be able to find out who done it and who done it best? Will the same suspect hold the answers to both mysteries and will her identity be that of the dream girl he let get away? Who kissed Charlie Fine?
