Love and Other Theories - Paperback

by Alexis Bass (Author)

Love and Other Theories is a fast-paced twist on the coming-of-age novel and the romantic comedy that Kirkus Reviews called "careful, subtle, and aching" in a starred review.

Aubrey and her best friends made a pact to play by the guys' rules when it comes to dating. They're hoping the rules will keep them from experiencing high school heartbreak--they don't realize that these rules could just as easily keep them from opening their hearts and minds.

And when new boy Nathan Diggs moves to town, Aubrey starts to think that some rules are meant to be broken.

With equal parts bite and romance, topped off with an irresistibly engaging voice, Alexis Bass's novel is one you won't want to miss.

A pact designed for emotional survival. A new guy who threatens to break all the rules.

• A List of Rules: Kiss but don't love, listen but don't believe, and leave before you're left. The theories are simple, and they've always worked.
• Strong Female Friendship: Aubrey, Shelby, Danica, and Melissa have a bond built on inside jokes, shared secrets, and one very important pact.
• An Unlikely Connection: Nathan Diggs is the one guy who doesn't play by the rules, and he's making Aubrey question everything she thought she knew about love.
• Sharp, Witty, and Real: A smart, funny, and unflinching look at the brutal realities of high school dating and the courage it takes to open your heart.
