The ups and downs of being a high school junior

I love this book, probably more than Dear Lovey Hart, because it deals with a successful young lady, talented and in love. She's trying to do the right thing with her investigative reporting AND to make things a little more complicated, her boyfriend is the editor/her investigative partner. When her boyfriend shallowly falls for Purdie (which, never quite made sense to me, but I guess he really is only 16), Carrie has to deal with how to take care of numero uno, even when her heart breaks. Only problem with the story is the ending, in which she hardly pushes back to Chip about how badly he treated her. Chip's a nice guy and all, but he was an idiot and all we can hope is that he comes through on all the making up he needs to do!Conford, however, does make up for this in other books where she writes of her heroines pursuing shallow men when the good guys are right in front of them.

This is about two girls fighting over the same guy.

I enjoyed this book because it is very realistic. Girls do this kind of thing every day.Carrie realizes that Prudie is trying to take her man she trys to find the best information for the school newspaper ,that her boyfriend is editor of. She wants him to realize that she is good. She digs up some good evidence or at least she thought it was good. She risks getting into trouble to make her boyfriend realize that she is better than Prudie.
