  <default_description>NAOMI AND ELY ARE BEST FRIENDS. Naomi loves and is &lt;i&gt;in &lt;/i&gt;love with Ely, and Ely loves Naomi, but prefers to be &lt;i&gt;in &lt;/i&gt;love with boys. So they create their &quot;No Kiss List&quot; of people neither of them is allowed to kiss. And this works fine - until Bruce. Bruce is Naomi's boyfriend, so there's no reason to put him on the List. But Ely &lt;i&gt;kissed &lt;/i&gt;Bruce even though he is boring. The result: a rift of universal proportions and the potential end of &quot;Naomi and Ely: the institution.&quot; Can these best friends come back together again?</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This is that rare bird, a YA that takes place in college, which is something I'm trying to do, so I studied it. (Here comes the fun Analysis Portion of the review!)
