Joshua - a magic-loving nerd - has a huge crush on Sophia. She's an actual genius, especially when it comes to maths, but finds relationships much trickier to decipher. She tells herself she doesn't have time for one, anyway; her life plan revolves around finishing year twelve and, after that, university.

But, as she and Joshua get to know each other, Sophia can't help wondering: what if there's more to life than academics? And what if there are more pluses than minuses in taking a risk?

Now, Sophia's faced with a problem no amount of studying can solve: what's the formula for balancing life and love?

From Melissa Keil, the award-winning author of Life in Outer Space and The Incredible Adventures of Cinnamon Girl, comes this captivating novel about first romance, owning your choices, and what to do when your lifelong dreams no longer equate to happiness.

Shortlisted for the 2018 CBCA Book of the Year for Older Readers. Longlisted for the 2018 Indie Book Awards: Young Adult, 2018 ABDA Awards: Best Designed Children's Fiction Book. A 2018 CBCA Notable Book of the Year for Older Readers
