Mia is desperate to date Vince, her high school’s BMOC, especially since homecoming is just around the corner.  She has been trying to manipulate her best friend, Robyn, the school’s most skillful matchmaker, to help her, but Robyn refuses.  When Mia takes matters into her own hands and sends a fake email to Vince, pretending it is from Robyn, Mia gets her wish.  But why is Logan, the school’s class clown always in her thoughts and in her life?  

If what you need is a palette cleansing light read for the beach or complete mindless downtown, this will fit the bill.  It does what it sets out to do – be a feel good, you-know-where-this-is-going romantic comedy.  There are a few pleasant detours along the way.
