(3) YA Bullied MIT-hopeful Bea creates a mathematical formula to ensure she and her two best guy friends achieve social success senior year. But when Bea's boyfriend ditches her for the "quirky" new girl, she tweaks the formula's plan, rebranding herself as Trixie, the ideal manic pixie dream girl. Predictably but enjoyably, Bea learns that formulas can't control everything in this comedic exploration of stereotyping.
