Teddy was the undefeated Answers! player with 76 wins, until Max showed up, stole his heart and his victory, and continued to gain more money in prizes in her 38-win streak than he did in his 76 games! Teddy was able to gain back some of his pride in the annual tournament when he managed to defeat Max. But, they remain tied, and they really dislike each other. Now they have another chance to face off in the Ultimate Answers! Tournament against Hercules McKnight, the all-time undefeated champion.
If you thought that things should go smoothly, you thought wrong. Maxine is ADHD, so she does not have the capacity to prepare for the game the traditional way. And Teddy's game strategy is very safe which could risk him his win. And they both need to win the games leading to the finale if they want a chance at beating McKnight - who is not who the world seems to think he is.  And that is all the motivation these two extremely different people need to form this extremely unlikely alliance. 
This book will always have a place in my heart because it contains the best ADHD depiction that made me feel seen and represented. I don't think I highlighted passages as much as I did think “That is so me”. Not only did I see myself in Max, but I also felt a kinship with Teddy because I am a rule follower, I am currently working on my graduate degree, and I love finding new ways to teach that will get through to my students. So, if you're a woman with ADHD, or in Academia, or both, you will enjoy this book!  AND you will learn some trivia, which is, like Max, one of my love languages!
