Summary
Cynical high school senior Remy knows just how to keep herself out of serious relationships-she learned from two experts: her mother, who has been married five times, and her father, who abandoned Remy before she was even born. It's to Remy's surprise then, that she finds herself falling for the messy, disorganized, and impulsive Dexter. Dexter is exactly the sort of man Remy thought she would never fall in love with, especially because he is a musician just like her father. Named one of the Best Children's Books 2002 by Publishers Weekly.

Media Reviews
"Insightful writing, distinctive characters, and a contemporary scene where sex and music rule, compose a melody worth reading."
-- Kirkus
"[T]his is at its heart, a classic romance, with the beautiful cynic finally learning the importance of risk and beginning to trust when she finds the right man and Dessen plays the dynamics of the traditional story effectively." -- Deborah Stevenson
-- Bulletin of the Center for Children\'s Books

Synopses
Raised by a mother who's had five husbands, eighteen-year-old Remy believes in short-term, no-commitment relationships until she meets Dexter, a rock band musician.
Publisher's Notes
Remy always knows the perfect time to give a boyfriend "The Speech" telling him it's over-after the initial romantic whirl, but before the reality of an actual relationship hits. Her friends tease that her boyfriend tally is nearing the triple digit mark, but she's a girl who knows just how to avoid any messy emotional entanglement. After all, she's had the example of her five-times-married mother to show her what not to do.
So what, then, is it about Dexter that makes it so hard for her to follow her own rules? He's everything she hates: messy, disorganized, much too vulnerable, impulsive, and worst of all, a musician like her father: the father Remy never knew, the father who wrote a famous song for her, the father who disappeared from her life.

Gossip Times Three
by Amy Goldman Koss
"This is a true story about three best friends who will no doubt become my three sworn enemies when they find out that I'm writing this," says our mystery narrator at the beginning of Amy Koss's latest novel of middle-school fun and torment. Abby has always had a crush on Zack, and her best friends Bess and Cristy have always known it. So how could Bess possibly think it's okay to go out with Zack herself?! And whose side is Cristy on anyway? From the moment Bess utters the traitorous "Zack's cute!" to the day Abby seeks a surprising revenge and beyond, our outspoken narrator (who won't reveal her identity until the final page) is there to share her particular front-row view of the mess. She even throws in some tasty tidbits about the love lives of the girls' divorced moms.
