Laurie thinks she's the luckiest girl in the world the night she's crowned Homecoming Queen, and her boyfriend Bob is crowned king. They have everything going for them. So what if Bob expects Laurie to give up all the things she's interested in for him?
Then Alison moves to town, and Bob and Laurie drift apart. Laurie feels lost and empty, so she joins the school chorus, makes new friends, and takes up jogging. When she meets Greg and falls in love with him, she doesn't know what she's more afraid ofthat Greg will never notice her, or that she'll get hurt again...
The book is hard to enjoy at first because Bob is so obviously manipulative. As Laurie moves away from Bob, the book gets better and better. The last one-third to one-half of the story is excellent.
48. Holly in Love, Caroline B. Cooney, 1983
If there's one thing Holly can't stand it's cold weather. And, it seems, the only other person in her whole town who feels the same way is Jamie.
Jamie is the first boy Holly has ever really liked, but her friends accuse her of "robbing the cradle"for Jamie is a full year younger than Holly.
Holly tries to let the teasing roll off her back, but she can't. And one day she goes along with it too far, hurting Jamie's feelings.
Holly wants desperately to make up with him but how?
I found this book to be completely uninteresting. I could not read it.
