This young adult romantic comedy is a sharp, hilarious, and perfectly observed story of high school geeks falling in true love.

Seventeen-year-old Sam Kinnison is a dork, and he's totally fine with that. He has his horror movies, his nerdy friends, and World of Warcraft. Sam believes that everything he needs to know can be learned from watching movies. Until Princess Leia turns up in his bedroom, Sam just isn't concerned about girls.

Then Camilla Carter arrives on the scene. She's beautiful, friendly and completely not on his radar. Sam is determined to ignore Camilla, except that she has a plan of her own-and Sam seems to be a part of it!

Author Melissa Keil will have readers head over heels with these relatable characters. Sam's exceptional voice gives a hilarious and painfully accurate take on high school life.
