My Junior Year of Loathing (My High School Life)

Junior year is supposed to be tough. Exams, term papers, homework, activities, and college tours can add up to non-stop stress, especially for an overachiever like Melinda Banner. Nothing will stop her, even the mysterious new guy in town. Connor has his own way of looking at the world, and his views often conflict with Melinda’s practical nature. Can you like someone and loathe them at the same time? Is taking the time to figure why he makes her feel so unsettled worth the distraction from all things junior year?When an investigation for the school paper reveals a connection between Connor and a tragedy long-since forgotten, Melinda has a choice. She can set aside her personal goals to save a local landmark and the boy who constantly pushes her away. Or she can put them both out of her mind for good and focus on making the grade.
