Answer:Marisa Rodriguez's best friend, Alicia, is in the hospital with a broken leg after getting into a car crash with Alicia's boyfriend Roberto. However, Alicia does not just suffer from a broken leg, but a broken heart. After the crash, Alicia discovers that Roberto is being unfaithful. Being Alicia's best friend and protector, Marisa picks a fight with Roberto at the hospital for doing her best friend wrong. During the scuffle, Marisa drops her cell phone and unknowingly grabs the phone of the boy who broke up the fight. When Marisa meets Rene, the boy who broke up the fight and accidentally grabbed her phone, she labels him a nerd. Her perspective quickly changes when Marisa realizes that she really likes him! She ends up leaving her school to be with Rene at his school only to find out that their relationship may not be as simple as it seems.

I picked the book up because it had a cute cover and an interesting blurb on the back. It wasn't what I imagine it to be. I am still in the thinking stage about this book because it was not instantly awful nor amazing. It was just a run through romance story with no juicy details. There wasn't a key feature that distinguished it from any other story, but there was not anything to make it awful either.

Since the book was so bland, there was not any content or language issues with the book. It was a pretty straightforward story directed towards a middle school audience. However, as I was reading the novel, I was thinking of pairing it with the high school Shakespeare novel Romeo and Juliet. They are both star-crossed lovers with something keeping them from having a blissful relationship.
