Lucy calls James and
leaves multiple voice messages but has the wrong number. James finally calls Lucy back to let her know
that she needs to stop calling him and they spark up a conversation and become
friends. Over three months they talk to
each other about everything—homework, ex-boyfriend/girlfriends and the heavy
issues of their family life. When it
comes time to meet each other, Lucy doesn’t know what to do.
This entire story is told in phone
conversations and messages. They cover
serious issues-such as teen drinking and losing family members. The cover looks like a sweet silly romance,
but it actually has depth. It was a fast
read and the characters had good banter between each other.
