Synopsis "Totally Boy Crazy"
Jessica Thompson and her best friends, Lilly and Cassidy, have a secret club, called Guys, Fries, and Apple Pies, where they pick a boy of the month with whom to flirt. To them it's all in good fun, but it eventually lands them in serious trouble. Even Jessica could not anticipate the turn of events that would eventually build to a catastrophic level. Life is tough enough for 14-year-old Jessica living with a strict single mother and an annoying, nosey younger brother. Her father left the family when she was four and has had little contact with them since. Her mother tries her hardest to keep Jessica focused on the important things in life, like school, family and friends, but, when she thinks about boys, Jessica's brain tends to turn to mush. What happens when a teenage girl who is completely obsessed with boys is banned from all contact with them? Will Jessica ever find out what real love is all about? From suburban Sunnyvale, California to the picturesque coast of Half Moon Bay, Totally Boy Crazy is an honest, humorous look at young romance and all the complications that come along with it. This book was inspired by the writings of Judy Blume and is depicted in an authentic adolescent voice. Like Blume's novels, it deals with real issues and situations that affect girls on the verge of becoming young women.
