Summary
Evan Buckley was fourteen when he got his heart broken for the first time. He’d been in love with a girl from algebra, despite the fact that he’d never been any good at math. She sat one row in front of him, and when she leaned back in her chair, he could smell her strawberry shampoo.
She must have liked him too because by the end of September they were stealing shy, awkward kisses under the bleachers.
When he finally mustered the courage to ask her to Homecoming, he was convinced that it would be their moment.
Instead, she looked at him with a hesitant expression.
“Listen, Evan, you’re a lot of fun,” she said gently. “But I want something serious.”
“Me too,” he replied earnestly. He could already imagine it: her in a dress, his hand nervously placed on the small of her back, the music, the lights—
“I meant with someone else,” she interrupted. Her eyes softened, not unkind, and perhaps that was the worst part.

Buck has never been lucky in love. He has enough break-ups under his belt to prove it. -
