Sherry likes Jill, and Sherry's boyfriend likes her, too...
Jill breezes into Sherry's life one spring day, and after that nothing is the same. Sherry is fascinated by her and introduces her to all her friends.
So she's shocked when Jill starts spending time with Kent. He's Sherry's boyfriend. They've been going steady for a year, and Sherry even wears his class ring.
But Jill is serious about Kent, and soon he stops calling Sherry or mentioning the prom. Sherry wonders if Kent ever loved her at all...
Josephine Wunsch was a friend of my Grandma Reeves. I was a teenager in high school when she was writing this book. I had lunch with her and Grandma at the Country Club of Detroit. She wanted to hear me speak - i.e. teen slang. She also had some questions about high school such as how teachers handed out grades. When the book was published I was working on the yearbook at my high school. That year we used photos of lockers to introduce each section. I put this book in to one of the lockers for the year book photo :)
Bad. Just really, really bad. I don't think the author has actually heard actual people -- especially teenagers -- talking before. The 17-year-old main character says "t'was" at one point. For serious.
