Most Likely To

When the popular crowd at Brentwood High votes me Most Likely to Marry a Math Book, I’m ready to put my ruler into the eye of any egotistical jock who comes near me. Including the idolized Bobcats quarterback, Connor Bray, when he asks me to tutor him. His only requirement? Our tutoring sessions must be secret—meaning that because Connor is too embarrassed to be seen with the resident math geek, I can’t even tell my boyfriend I’m helping Brentwood High’s all-star player. And when Connor begins to give me lessons in love, it starts to feel like I’m the one getting schooled.

Is being voted "most likely to: never have their first kiss" by the popular crowd at school the end of the world? Probably not, but I’m still not convinced. Is choosing my best friend’s twin brother as my first kiss the best choice? Ha, not in the slightest. But when he walks into his kitchen after midnight shirtless, inspiration strikes.

It’s on my birthday that I realize the past 16 years of my life haven't really been mine. From my outfits, hairstyles, and even my love life, my parents have control over all of it. And instead of fighting, I live by my mantra: keep my head down and keep my mouth shut. That is, until I’m paired with Brentwood High’s resident bad boy, Hudson Bishop.

If I can convince my cousin that I’m in love, he’ll give me the van early, and my escape plan is back on. Landon’s the perfect fake dating partner—he's voted Most Likely To: Never Get a Girlfriend by his friends, he doesn't talk back, and I’ll help him make the girl he likes jealous while he turns into my one-way ticket to freedom. And unlike anyone else in the popular crowd, he’s actually a little fun to be around.
