Unloved

The deliciously angsty second new adult romance in Corinne's Undone series (after Unsteady) pairs a jock with learning differences and his brainy tutor. Waterfell University senior Rosalie “Ro” Shariff is on the fast track, headed toward a successful scientific career with Tyler Donaldson, her boyfriend of two years, by her side. She’s also long crushed from afar on hockey star and big man on campus Matthew “Freddy” Fredderic—and when she's assigned to be his peer tutor, she sees a side of him few others know. Freddy, who has dyslexia, dyscalculia, and ADHD, has always hidden his educational struggles—and the pain from his mother’s death and his father’s abuse—under a confident facade, but if he flunks math, he won’t graduate, so he must finally confront his issues head-on. After the increasingly cruel Tyler abandons Ro at a hockey game 50 miles off campus, Freddy comes to her rescue and the pair develop a friendship that steadily grows into something more. Readers will swoon as Ro and Freddy help each other to heal—and they’ll love to hate the self-important Tyler, a prototypical bad boyfriend. This hotly anticipated and impeccably plotted sequel is sure to satisfy fans. Agent: Caitlin Mahony, WME. (Feb.)
