Current version:
Cora’s senior year is not going as planned. Her two best friends, Harper and Libbie, aren’t speaking and she is stuck in a loveless rut. Harper seems to only have time for Cora if Allen, the boyfriend, isn’t around; if he is, any other human is near the bottom of the totem pole. Libbie, fed up with Harper and being single, decides that she and Cora need to do love ritual to the universe to solve their problems. The pair each writes a list of what they want their perfect someone to be, burn the lists, and spread the ashes somewhere special. Libbie is confident in the power of the ritual and seems to be vying to win her ex back while Cora doesn’t want to get her hopes up. Love has never worked out for her before.
Then Archer Evans catches her eye. He is a funny, talented musician that seems to fulfill everything she’s ever wanted. He only has two major flaws. One: He is sophomore. Two: He has a girlfriend. (Oh and Libbie thinks he’s an asshole). But the more Cora gets to know him, the more she likes him, and the more she wants something to work. Despite the looming problems and challenges in front of them, Cora pushes ahead, hoping that her incredible awkwardness and lack of understanding when it comes to boys will somehow allow her to woo Archer into liking her as well. But if she gets him, can she keep him? With college coming for Cora and Archer’s dark past coming back for him, getting a guy to like her is only the beginning of Cora’s worries.
Told in the humorous, self-depreciating voice of Cora, fans of Gayle Forman and John Green will be able to relate to the realistic story-telling and emotion while discovering how they too can learn to be purple.
