When the principal announces that every senior must participate in a mandatory year-long Marriage Education program, Fiona Sheehan believes that her life can’t get any worse. Then she marries her “husband”: Jerky jock Todd, whose cheerleader girlfriend, Amanda, has had it in for Fiona since day one of second grade. Even worse? Amanda is paired with Fiona’s long-term crush, Gabe. At least Fiona is doing better than her best friend, Marcie, who is paired up with the very quiet, very mysterious Johnny Mercer. Pranks, fights, misunderstandings, and reconciliations ensue in an almost Shakespearean comedy of errors about mistaken first impressions, convoluted coupling, and hidden crushes.

I like it, it sounds so cute. I don't know what i would do if that happened to me,
Sounds like this book capitalizes on that awkward brand of humor that you can't avoid in high school settings...should be fun!
ReplyDeletep.s. at my school it was a 10 lb. bag of flour that you had to carry around.
This does sound cute. I always kind of wished my school would do these marriage / baby tasks because I'd see them in books or on TV and they looked really fun. In reality, it probably is pretty humiliating. Still, I'd enjoy reading about it. Nice pick!
ReplyDeleteOhh this is a new one, I've never seen. Kayoot, nice cover too!
ReplyDeleteThis looks really good. I can't wait to read it. Nice pick(:
ReplyDeleteI've never done the egg thing either -- and I don't think I've met anyone who has!
