What a surprisingly fast paced romantic drama. I just thought it was going to be some teenage angst building between co-editors of the journalism world of high school but was pleasantly surprised by the twists and turns that go along with it.Poor Layney Logan gets thrust into the limelight by her charming co-editor, Jimmy Foster. The suggestion of a fund raiser being a calendar just sends Layney over the edge and the conspiracy that Foster has with the teacher to have Layney interview (date) twelve guys in six weeks is the tipping point. She ends up going on these dates and finds that she is open to new people in her sheltered world.Foster learns more about Layney than he thought he knew. There was always a secret that she was keeping from him and forced herself to distance herself from everyone. This plays into why the broke up in the eight grade. Yes, they have a past which makes it even steamier.
