Synopsis:
At last, Mia is a junior. An upperclassperson. So why is it that everything is going so terribly wrong? What is she doing in Intro to Creative Writing? When she has made it through Algebra and Geometry, why must she be faced with Precalculus? All this is nothing compared to the news Michael springs on her, however. Her beloved boyfriend could be leaving for Japan for a year—or more! Precalc has nothing on preparing for the worst separation ever!

Turns out there is one way she might convince Michael to stay. But will she? Or won’t she? No matter what, Mia seems headed for disaster.

Review:
“And what about the fact that once you DO IT, that’s ALL you want to do when you get together?” (Page 48)

Lana seems like a serious jerk in this book, but, at the same time, she is also one of the only people who tells Mia something straight. There are so many times that Mia really needed to be able to talk to her mom, but she was so preoccupied with Rocky that she really had to try to figure things out on her own. This book really pulled at the heartstrings of having been a teenage girl, and while some may think the subject matter is “too mature”, it’s something most girls that age are experiencing in some way or another. Great job on another awesome teen book, Meg Cabot!
