2/5 Stars
B&N:
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.
My Review:
I could see how this may be a "cute" read for younger girls, but I found the main female character wicked annoying. I don't know how she calls herself a good friend. She constantly only talks about herself with her friend ignoring what's going on in her friend's life completely. The character of Todd was pretty funny in some instances.
One other thing that really annoyed me was how the main character treated a particular boy throughout the book and especially at the end of the book. It was like all of a sudden her opinion changed and she "settled" for him. Not a great message to send to young people.
