   Summary

   It’s just a school project… or at least it’s supposed to be. When Chrissy Cunningham gets paired up with Eddie “The Freak” Munson, it brings with it a multitude of issues. For one, her boyfriend Jason hates Eddie with a fiery passion. And two, despite the previous reason, Chrissy finds herself wanting to become his friend. And as their friendship successfully blossoms, Eddie becomes an unexpected lifeline for her and opens her eyes to the way she’s been drowning her whole life.

   But their unlikely friendship opens more than just her mind, as Chrissy begins to find her heart changing too as she falls for the guy that she’s not supposed to.
