The USA TODAY bestselling follow-up to Peyton Corinne’s “unputdownable and unforgettable” (Bal Khabra, author of Collide) TikTok sensation Unsteady follows hopeless romantic Ro and player—on and off the ice—Freddy as they forge an unexpected bond that slowly turns into a life lesson in self-worth and the healing quality of love.
Matt “Freddy” Fredderic is all smiles—at least on the surface. On the ice, he’s the star left winger for the Waterfell Wolves with a stellar reputation in bed and a potential future in the NHL. But in the classroom, he’s barely scraping by on a 2.0 GPA, retaking failed classes and struggling with a rough mix of dyslexia, dyscalculia, and ADHD. Now tied to an NHL contract upon graduation, Freddy needs help to pass biology with a professor he has a tumultuous past with.
Ro Shariff is a hopeless romantic with terrible luck in love—and now, Freddy’s newly assigned tutor. Trying to convince herself that she’s very happy with her on again/off again boyfriend, Ro is desperate for real affection. As her tutoring sessions with Freddy lead to late-night phone calls and a deep understanding of each other’s hidden pains, a real friendship strikes up between them.
And, inevitably, a wistful secret pining hidden by them both. Ro can’t stop thinking about her first kiss her freshman year with Freddy—a spine-tingling moment that Freddy doesn’t seem to remember. Meanwhile, Freddy can’t let go of Ro’s drunken heartfelt confessions from the night she doesn’t remember.
While Freddy is determined to protect Ro from his reputation and prove to her how worthy of love she is, Ro wants to show Freddy that despite what others have led him to believe, he’s worth more than just his body. Together, with gentle affection and true admiration, they will show each other how easy it is to love the right person, no matter their flaws.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
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.
