"2 girls + 3 guys + 1 house - parents = 10 things April and her friends did that they (definitely, maybe, probably) shouldn't have.
If
given the opportunity, what sixteen-year-old wouldn't jump at the
chance to move in with a friend and live parent-free? Although maybe
"opportunity" isn't the right word, since April had to tell her dad a
tiny little untruth to make it happen (see #1: "Lied to Our Parents").
But she and her housemate Vi are totally responsible and able to take
care of themselves. How they ended up "Skipping School" (#3), "Throwing a
Crazy Party" (#8), "Buying a Hot Tub" (#4), and, um, "Harboring a
Fugitive" (#7) at all is kind of a mystery to them.
In this
hilarious and bittersweet tale, Sarah Mlynowski mines the heart and mind
of a girl on her own for the first time. To get through the year, April
will have to juggle a love triangle, learn to do her own laundry, and
accept that her carefully constructed world just might be falling apart .
. . one thing-she-shouldn't-have-done at a time."
I read this one!
Happy Reading!
