Description
Arlo Rodriquez has no game and the failed two-man mission with his best friend Milo will always haunt him. He can't help envying his charismatic best friend Milo's endless league of girls throwing themselves at him. Sometimes he'll wonder whether he wants to be exactly like him or with him. Or the latter was just when he came to school high off his mind for the first time. Once Clara Monte gets thrust into tutoring him, she's introduced to a completely different version of Arlo that the girls from the missions never get to see. She immediately sees through his posturing to the sensitive soul underneath. And to Arlo's surprise, she accepts him as he is while encouraging him to shine. But there's only one problem that arises from their budding connection, Karla Martinez. Toxicity oozes from this bright, pink-haired girl who Arlo finds out used to be a conquest of Milo's. Both couples' relationships now hang in the balance. As Arlo steps up to shield Clara while his broken best friend spins out, he discovers inner courage he never knew he had. But will the fallout from Karla's games ultimately rupture their newly forged bonds? Or help Arlo embrace vulnerability to win the girl who's quietly loved him all along?
