When Marisa meets Rene, the boy who broke up the fight and accidentally grabbed her phone, she labels him a nerd. Her perspective quickly changes when Marisa realizes that she really likes him! She ends up leaving her school to be with Rene at his school only to find out that their relationship may not be as simple as it seems.
I picked the book up because it had a cute cover and an interesting blurb on the back. It wasn't what I imagine it to be. I am still in the thinking stage about this book because it was not instantly awful nor amazing. It was just a run through romance story with no juicy details. There wasn't a key feature that distinguished it from any other story, but there was not anything to make it awful either.
