PG (no overt content issues, but lots of simmering anger about pranks as the two main characters resolve their issues)
BUYING ADVISORY: MS - ESSENTIAL
APPEALS TO: MANY
13yo Eve has been waiting all summer for her best-friend-for-life Andrew to get home from his family’s all summer trip to Florida. He’s already missed the first week of school! As soon as he steps off the airplane, though, things are weird - their mothers are whispering about what a cute couple they are, and at school all of Eve’s track team friends are sure that they are destined to be a couple - they’ve even started trying out couple names for them. Now everyone assumes they are actually a couple. But neither of them wants to be the one to back out. Eve and Andrew decide independently to be outrageously bad “dates” so that the other will do the breaking up. What can go wrong?
How about everything!
Miller has written an awesome what-not-to-do-in-a-relationship book! High on misunderstandings, bad advice, and sheer drama. I would dub this a must-read for everyone entering middle school and hormones. This is everything that a middle school dating book should be. Good to the last drop!
All of the characters cue white.
