Clichés & Curses

A curse. A college class. A paired-up assignment. And the one guy she swore she’ d never fall for. Clara Healy is convinced her family is cursed. After witnessing the relationships of those closest to her fall apart, she’ s determined to avoid being the curse’ s next victim by staying away from the root cause: falling in love with a cliché love interest. Leading up to college, Clara has managed to steer clear off of them— be it the bad boy, the academic rival, or her kryptonite, the star athlete. But when she arrives late to the first day of American Sign Language class, and ends up sitting next to Colton Reed, the college star baseball player, her streak comes to an end. Things only get worse when they have to partner up for an assignment. But Clara isn’ t going to let the curse get to her. She could handle seeing Colton on a weekly basis, right? As she ends up practising with him every Wednesday, with car rides home, and an unexpected night out together, Clara slowly starts to realize that escaping the curse was going to be a lot more difficult than she thought it would be.
