I read this book so long ago, but I remember loving it and reading it at least 3 times. It's your classic YA fare with extra romance genre attributes. If Harlequin had a YA division (they might now, who knows...) I'm sure they would have published this. Silly but all together cute.A former elementary school teacher, Colleen O'Shaughnessy McKenna lives in Pittsburgh with her family. She is best known for her Murphy series, based on her own family.This book was a favorite from my youth. My copy is super tattered and usually tucked safely on the book shelf, but I picked it up and gave it a read for the first time in a decade the other day. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it held up!This is a small town girl dealing with growing up, life changes happening, and falling in love type of story. I love the nostalgic, chick flick feel of it. There is, of course, plenty of teenage angst, but also a lot of heart to the story. It reminds me
This is one of those stories where a girl babysits the kids of a handsome, young, lonely man. Fortunately, McKenna doesn't overdo it, and there's more to the story than that. There's a best friend, and the boy she's grown up with, and there's her wondering about her mama who died too young. I appreciate the protagonist's relationship with her friends and family. As with so many YAs of yesteryear, there are surprisingly well written and poignant moments throughout this novel.

It was a really good book. I read it when I was in Middle School (97-99). A nice read for young adults and teenagers.
