No keeping secrets from your bestie. Flor Hidalgo has a lot on her plate: her breakup with Zach, her dad's new dating life, and her struggles with grades. So why can't she stop thinking about her hot know-it-all tutor? At least she's got Willa, her constant in the chaos. Breaking the code breaks friendships. Two friends find themselves tempted by loves that defy the rules in this story that combines equal parts friendship and romance.
