Book excerpt: Iris Oxtabee has managed to navigate through her near-boring social life by reading everything from neuroscience journals to Wikipedia articles. Science has helped her fit the puzzle pieces into an understandable whole, and she’s sure there’s nothing it can’t explain. Love, for example - is just chemistry! Her best friend Seth believes love is one of life’s beautiful and chaotic mysteries, without need for explanation. But Iris being Iris, is hell bent on proving him wrong. She decides to test her theory on the popular and newly single Theo Grant, who doesn’t even know Iris exists. Armed with science and a plan, Iris is sure she can make him ask her to prom. With prom just two weeks away, Iris doesn’t have any time to waste. But will proving herself right cause her friendship with Seth—and the tantalizing possibility for something more—to become a failed experiment? PROM THEORY is a sassy romantic rollercoaster, that will melt your heart and give you goosebumps – all at once!
