What The Bookworm and the Playboy is about
Bookish scholar Hazel is rejected by the boy she confesses to for lacking dating experience. To make up for this shortcoming, she approaches campus playboy Jax and asks him to teach her about love. They start a contractual tutor-tutee relationship. In intimate interactions and daily bickering, they fall for each other. Meanwhile, the boy who rejected Hazel comes back to pursue her, sparking an emotional drama.
