Her grumpy emo dorm mate Salem Grayson isn't exactly her first choice, but he does need her help to repair his relationship with his parents every bit as much as she needs his to learn how to be cool. And so they make a pact: he'll teach her how to be bad, if she teaches him how to be good. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt's a flawless plan, except while Salem thrives academically, romantically, and-annoyingly enough- even physically, Evie's quest feels like one dead end after another.
