her plan + one anonymous app + Mr. Pi = a senior year that doesn’t add up

Avery James knows one thing for certain—she’s going to join her beloved boyfriend Braden at MIT next year. She simply has to complete her senior-year checklist: become swim team captain, ace her classes, and graduate as valedictorian. Easy peasy.

Unfortunately for Avery, her perfect plan falls apart. Braden won’t pick up her calls, her GPA plummets, and her nemesis starts encroaching on her aspirations. Most bewildering of all, her lifelong best friend’s little brother Jake is suddenly everywhere she turns.

When her high school launches Connection Services, a new anonymous social app, Avery does something very un-Avery: she opens it. Within days she’s talking to a stranger called Mr. Pi—and he might be the only person who actually gets her.

Avery is a facts girl. Here’s one she isn’t ready for: some connections are a lot closer to home than they appear.
