Larissa Caden is her school's brilliant, collected, studious, and conservative British nerdlette/nerdling who speaks six languages. But her backstory is more complicated than she lets on. She has a secret regarding the great British celebrity Hansey Reynolds, who vanished off the face of the Earth a year ago. Blake Evans is the school's affluent, planless, jerk and player extraordinaire with a terrible secret and who is also great friends with Augustus Armstrong. Augustus is intellectual, collected, studious, and conservative, exactly like Larissa. The ideal match? Not at all. No way, not if Blake is involved.
