description: Juli Baker and Bryce Loski, who have been neighbors since the second grade, describe their lives together as they grow from a casual friendship to a budding eighth-grade romantic relationship. This is a classic romantic comedy of errors told in alternating chapters by two fresh, funny new voices. Wendelin Van Draanen is at her best here with a knockout cast of quirky characters and a hilarious series of misunderstandings and missed opportunities. But underlying the humor are two teens in transition. They are each learning to look beyond the surface of people, both figuring out who they are, who they want to be, and who they want to be with.
