boy proof, by Cecil Castellucci

Victoria is a straight-A teen living in Los Angeles who only has two goals in her life: becoming class valedictorian and staying eccentric. Loner by choice, Victoria has seen the science fiction movie Terminal Earth 42 times and dresses like the main character ~ shaved head, heavily pierced ears and white cape. She’s even adopted the nickname “Egg.” Nothing would please her more than to be left alone so she could ace her finals and help her dad create special effects for the movies. But then a new classmate, smart & good looking Max Carter, joins her school. Despite herself, Egg becomes friends with Max, even though she tries to keep her distance. But when Max starts dating another girl, Egg’s world turns upside down!
