It would have been such a sweet, romantic moment. Except that Beth, the head cheerleader, has only the vaguest idea who Denis is. And Denis, the captain of the debate team, is so far out of her league he is barely even the same species. And then there's Kevin, Beth's remarkably large boyfriend, who's in town on furlough from the United States Army. Complications ensue.

"wonderful book"
I love this book! Its everything a book like this should be; funny, sweet, smart. I think the narrator is just right, capturing the sly asides as well as the minds of all the characters. I've probably listened to it three times now!
"Much funnier than the movie"
The sole reason that I got this book was that I had a credit burning a hole in my pocket. I was happy to have spent that credit on this book. More entertaining than the movie, and more disturbing too. Enjoy!
