Meg and Stanley are a couple for the '90s: a believable duo exhibiting the characteristics of real-life high school students. The third fun-filled Meg and Stanley story finds Meg getting involved in other people's problems, and realizing how important Stanley actually is to her.
Meg adores her geeky boyfriend Stanley, but jealousy and a series of Austen-esque misguided attempts to meddle in the lives of her friends have jeopardized their relationship. Maybe they really are not meant for each other? A sweet, sad sub-plot about fathers and daughters adds poignancy to this lighthearted novel.
