Résumé

Seventeen-years-old Maya thinks she’s solved the equation for happiness. She’s got the perfect boyfriend, a killer internship at MIT, and amazing friends to lift her spirits since her mother’s death. It’ the dream summer come true. That is, until one unexpected variable- or breakup in Maya’s case- sends her scrambling for a way to win back her boyfriend, Whit.

After digging through her scientist mother’s old notebook, Maya thinks she’s found the perfect cure for the common breakup: a little love serum. But all good hypotheses need test subject. Enter Kyle, Maya’s MIT friend, and Asher, the star YouTuber and heartthrob Maya meets at a party.

Now, all Maya needs to do is conduct a few dodgy experiments and partake in a lot of unethical kissing to convince Whit that they’re evolutionarily perfect for each other.

But as Maya’s experiments wreak havoc on herself and the boys in her life, she’ll have to confront the possibility that maybe matters of the heart can’t be solved using the scientific method.
