Amy Noelle Parks new novel The Quantum Weirdness of the Almost-Kiss was an absolute delight to read. This science and math driven romantic comedy will be a great read for all nerd out there (and non-nerds will like it too!) This novel follows Evie and Caleb who have been best friends who grew up next door to each other. They currently both attend a very prestigious Math and Science Boarding school together. They have a very "complex" relationship. This story is told from both Caleb and Evie's point of view; which allows a very personal insight into their relationship and their interactions together. Evie has very intense anxieties and phobias that prevented her from going to a prestigious conference last year; but she has been working with her therapist dutifully and feel like things are getting better. Caleb has always been in love with Evie, and knows everything about her. She has never shown romantic interest in him- hence the 15 and counting almost-kisses. Suddenly, she gets her first boyfriend and things get even more complicated. This story shows an accurate depiction of mental health struggles, complex (and sometimes dependent) relationships, and math genius. I think it reveals the inner strength of those who struggle with mental illness and those who love them. This is a quirky and adorable story that will pull at your heart strings. The Quantum Weirdness of the Almost-Kiss by Amy Noelle Park will be out in January of 2021!
