A compulsively readable novel about four teenage girls who make a pact to play by the guys' rules when it comes to dating. Seventeen-year-old Aubrey Housing and her best friends live by a set of rules: Don't fall in love, don't be needy, and don't give away your heart. Following every first kiss with a preemptive strike against future commitment, and giving as little as they know they'll get in return, Aubrey and her friends have made it to the second semester of their senior year heartbreak-free and with their dignity fully intact. So when Nathan Diggs moves to town he's no exception. That's what Aubrey keeps telling herself. But there's no denying Nathan is different. He's oddly caring and polite in a way that isn't embarrassing, and he happens to have the exact same sense of humor as Aubrey. She tries to shake it - she's above this - and she pities other girls for not knowing better, but it's too late. Aubrey's already broken the most important rule of all: do not fall in love. With senior year fading quickly, Aubrey must be strategic if she wants to keep Nathan. But business as usual might mean sharing Nathan, or worse, losing him completely. So what if her best friend, Shelby, shamelessly flirts- and more - with Nathan? It's okay, isn't it? After all, Aubrey's an 'evolved' girl ... right?
