A charming romantic dramedy from the author ofThe Art of Insanity High schooler Skyler Davidson spends most of her time with her pet rat, Five. The daughter of scientists, she’s determined to finish her late mother's research on neutron stars. So she teams up with aspiring videographer, Cooper, to film a submission for a NASA internship—all while keeping it a secret from her dad, who doesn’t expect any trouble from his obviously college-bound daughter. As Skyler and Cooper grow closer, it turns out that Skyler’s dad has a new love interest as well: a hot makeup influencer who likes to put her nose where it doesn’t belong. She’ll keep hush on Skyler’s NASA plans, if Skyler agrees to get to know her. Now Skyler’s tangled up in a budding romance, an unexpected friendship, and the stress of having to retake her SATs. Will Skyler’s dream of stars collapse and explode, or can dad and daughter reconcile and change their trajectory? About Christine Here's the bio that you'll find on the inside of my book: ​Christine Webb is a teacher from Kalamazoo, Michigan. When she’s not writing, she enjoys hanging out with her zoo (three goofy dogs, an evil cat, twenty nameless pigeons, and a friendly rat) or traveling with her husband. She also loves studying British history and laments the fact that she will never be Queen. ​Here are ten facts about me that you won't find inside my book: ​1. I bred rats in college and sold them as pets. I once had thirteen living in my dorm room at once. 2. My roommate from college is still friends with me (I'm not sure why - see #1). 3. My British grandma owns part of an old insane asylum in England, and I got to go visit. It seemed minimally haunted. 4. My favorite tea is Mango Ceylon. Closely followed by Blueberry Rooibos. I always drink tea when I write. 5. I once got in a bike crash in Ireland. 6. My favorite song is Mmmbop by Hanson. 7. I once taught in a Spanish immersion kindergarten (turns out I'm not great at Spanish. Or kindergarteners). 8. I can't stand sushi. 9. I played clarinet as a kid, but my toddler sister peed on my book during a long game of hide and seek, and I refused to practice after that. 10. Three of my teeth are fake.
