Kissing Ezra Holtz : (and other things I did for science)

A fun, witty, light-hearted romantic comedy— The Rosie Project , for teens Seventeen-year-old Amalia Yaabez and Ezra Holtz couldn't be more different. They've known (and avoided) each other their whole lives; she unable to stand his buttoned-up, arrogant, perfect disposition, and he unwilling to deal with her slacker, rule-breaking way of moving through the world. When they are unhappily paired on an AP Psychology project, they come across an old psychological study that posits that anyone can fall in love with anyone, if you put them through the right scientific, psychological steps. They decide to put that theory to the test for their project, matching couples from different walks of high school life to see if science really can create love. As they go through the whirlwind of the experiment, Ezra and Amalia realize that maybe it's not just the couples they matched who are falling for each other . . .
