Book Overview
Best friends make the worst romance. Chris (a girl) and Jack (a boy) have been best friends for years, since first grade. Then puberty rears its ugly head. On the court and on the playing field, Jack has always had to accept that Chris is a better athlete. Now it seems she is gaining the advantage when it comes to looks and popularity, too, and Jack can't accept that. After all, who is a member of Eastport's premier social establishment -- the Eastport Country Club -- and who isn't? Worrying that he is falling behind his friend, Jack panics, acts out, and generally muddles things up. To make matters worse, he also finds himself starting to wonder if he is falling in love with her at the same time. With her third novel, Mame Farrell further establishes her reputation for convincing and funny contemporary fiction.

This is a believable, funny, all-too-true story of Jack and Chris, a boy-girl pair of best friends. But are they just best friends? Jack begins to wonder that summber between eighth grade and high school, when he begins to notice Chris in a whole new light. Chris is suddenly not just muddy, messy, tomboy Chris-- she's beautiful and popular with boys, and Jack is jealous, even as he's drenched with attention from Popular Girl Emily. When it's time for the Country Club Cotillion and Jack shares a dance with Chris, will she be able to accept that her best friend now sees her as a GIRL? Maybe. Well, she can until Jack kisses her... then she shows that she may be a girl, but she sure ain't a feminine flower!
