BEYOND PERFECT

They say that when you graduate from high school, the world is your oyster. When you graduate from college, you're just expected to make a lot of clams. Madeline Timms and her soon-to-be friends are in search of the latter...and find something better.

DataMatch is tech giant SCE Inc.'s scientific approach to finding flawless life-long relationships, now with even more scientific precision! Except, exciting high-tech workplace and brilliant startup idea or not, it's never that easy, is it? Computer science? Biology? Chemistry? They're just numbers. From dating your new boss—a typical CEO; mean, bellowing, goal-oriented, melty, too-hot-to-handle, most sexually charged man you know—to seducing your geek god coworker crush right out of his test tubes, to being on the right side of the negotiating table—which is to say on top of it—some things don't work on paper. They don't need to.

Five relationships. Six stories. Happiness all around, guaranteed. Semi-scientifically.
