\nThe magic formula for romance <\/a>(mostly).<\/p>\n

Shane has it all figured out on paper, helping guys (even one of his teachers) connect with the girls they adore from afar. Being a victim of an epic breakup makes him empathetic, informed, and way leery of getting involved again himself, until….<\/p>\n

This May 2015 title will be out in paperback as Me You Us<\/a><\/em>\u00a0 in June 2016, but why wait to find out if Shane can really math-out personal attraction? (and why on earth did they change the title??)<\/p>\n

My book talk<\/strong>: Shane quietly coaches guys with dating advice, but during his senior year the California teen discovers that his own true love is his best friend and that she doesn’t realize it.<\/p>\n

His never-fail “galgorithm” for getting a girl’s attention has helped many a nerdy high school guy become confident enough to ask out the girl of his dreams, but Shane isn’t ready to use his own advice after a terrible breakup during sophomore year.<\/p>\n

Hanging out with his best-friend-since-forever Jak, missing her already before they’ve even left for college, Shane finds himself on a double date with a client and his sweetie – then things get crazy.<\/p>\n

Is Tristen really trying to keep Shane from spending time with Jak?
\nCan a teacher use the Galgorithm too?
\nWhat happens when the infallible system fails?<\/p>\n

Spring semester of senior year is a roller coaster ride for Shane, Jak, and several interested parties in this particular dating game. (One of 6,000 books recommended on www.abookandahug.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
