  <default-description>&lt;p&gt; Ordinary, boring Ed works a loser summer job at Reel Life Movies, where he doesn't even have his own name tag. He's stuck with &quot;Sergio.&quot; Ed's only consolations are his two best friends. Shelving DVDs isn't so mind-numbingly dull with Scout cracking jokes, and after hours Ed hangs out with the superbrain, Quark. Life starts to look up when the girl of his dreams saunters into Reel Life. Ed knows he doesn't stand a chance . . . but maybe, just maybe &lt;i&gt;Sergio&lt;/i&gt; does. All he has to do is pretend to be a smoldering Brazilian stud for the rest of his life. Simple, right? But . . . Ed's new dream girl has her own secrets, Scout wants to be &lt;i&gt;more&lt;/i&gt; than Ed's best friend, and his buddy Quark wants Scout for himself. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Star-crossed crushes make for hilarious misunderstandings as Ed guides his life toward disaster in this fresh, contemporary twist on Shakespeare's &lt;i&gt;Midsummer Night's Dream&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[This young adult book is a a lot of fun, partly because it reminds me so much of some of the columns written for the DESERET NEWS by its author, Ann Edwards Cannon, and partly because I recognized the story as a take-off on the crazy romantic quadrangle of Shakespeare's A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM.  ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/36028311">more...</a>]]></body>

But things aren’t as bad as they could be. He gets to hand out with his two best friends, Scout and Quark, and a very beautiful girl named Ellie mig...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/22442335">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[When I first started reading this book, I'll admit I wasn't enamored by it. Over zealous pop-culture references which were surprisingly not lost to me, weighed me down at first, but once I got through more of this story that changed. It was only one character whose story was riddled with these, and ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20618041">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Fairly forgettable romance set in Salt Lake City, loosely based on Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Enough humor to make it readable but not enough to make it memorable. I'll recommend it to both boys and girls at my library, though, because of the Utah setting. Very mild language (the &quot;...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/47918136">more...</a>]]></body>
