The Best Friend Equation

Aria Matthews is in love with her best friend, Lucas Miller. It is the best kept secret since Area 51 and she knows she would take it to the grave. But things start changing in her senior year of high school when another of her friends takes it upon herself to set Aria up with the captain of the football team, who, incredibly, seems to be interested in her as well. And she doesn't understand why Lucas suddenly grows a stick up his butt about the whole dating deal. Sometimes it just takes a nudge to knock down years of carefully laid plans like the blocks of a Jenga tower. And sometimes, just sometimes, deeper and darker secrets are waiting to be exposed.
