    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;Larry, Teresa, and Elliot are so tight, there's no room in their circle for more than three: boy, girl, boy. And when they graduate, they plan to move to California to start their <em>real</em> lives--together.<br/>     &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But who are they fooling? Larry is gay and trying to come to terms with his sexuality. Teresa is tired of hanging out with boys she loves who don't want to be her boyfriend. And Elliot is realizing that he may like himself more if he isn't always in the shadow of his friends. This is a wry, surprising, and insightful story about three best friends who each learn how tough it is to be yourself.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;<em>     </em>&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;<em>Includes an interview with the author.</em>&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;Larry, Teresa, and Elliot are so tight, there's no room in their circle for any more than three: boy, girl, boy. That's just how it is. And when they graduate in a few months, they're moving to California to begin their <em>real</em> lives--together.<br/>	<br/>Or that's the plan, anyway. But who are they fooling? Larry is gay and still trying to coming to terms with his sexuality. Teresa is tired of hanging out with two boys she loves who aren't interested in being her boyfriend. And Elliot--sweet, handsome, but not the brightest--is finally considering the idea that he may in fact like himself more when he's not in the shadow of his two best friends.<br/>	<br/>From the celebrated author of <em>Stoner &amp; Spaz</em> and<em> Margaux with an X,</em> here is a wry, surprising, and insightful book about how tough it is to simply be yourself.<br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;Larry, Teresa, and Elliot are so tight, there's no room in their circle for any more than three: boy, girl, boy. That's just how it is. And when they graduate in a few months, they're moving to California to begin their <em>real</em> lives--together.<br/>	<br/>Or that's the plan, anyway. But who are they fooling? Larry is gay and still trying to coming to terms with his sexuality. Teresa is tired of hanging out with two boys she loves who aren't interested in being her boyfriend. And Elliot--sweet, handsome, but not the brightest--is finally considering the idea that he may in fact like himself more when he's not in the shadow of his two best friends.<br/>	<br/>From the celebrated author of <em>Stoner &amp; Spaz</em> and<em> Margaux with an X,</em> here is a wry, surprising, and insightful book about how tough it is to simply be yourself.<br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]>
