After an epic grounding for some bad decisions with even worse friends, Tommy is lucky to even go to the Door Tech March Break camp. There, he crosses paths with Carter Batudev, and chemistry isn’t just for the classroom. With love and a renewed interest in STEM, Tommy returns home to Parry Sound, where, to the relief of his parents, he makes better friends, and joins the STEM club. When the club goes to the province-wide competition in Toronto, he's reunited with Carter, whose team is also competing. Thus ensues a wild long weekend full of romance, hijinks, STEM, and singing. Includes a novelette from Carter’s POV at the dinner theatre show Knights of Everdome. This book takes place in an alternate world where technology is more advanced, especially in Westmeath, due to in-universe reasons.

Jen Desmarais is the creator of the sex education game Blush and co-author of "Assassins! Accidental Matchmakers." "Crushing It," coming in 2023, is her first solo novel, and she's not entirely sure how it happened; she had a novella and a couple short story ideas and then all of a sudden it was a full-length book. Jen started learning guitar because of this book so that she could write her own music to go along with her lyrics. You can also find a short story by Jen in "Nothing Without Us Too." Co-founder of JenEric Designs, she creates unique geeky crocheted items. Her blogs The Travelling TARDIS and How I Taught My Dragon have been nominated for the Prix Aurora Awards over 2018-2023.
