CRAZY IN LOVE is fun and fluffy Jun 1, 2007
Plain Jane is every parent's favorite: a smart, sensible and brutally honest rule-follower who always thinks of others before herself. Given the choice, she'd take broccoli over ice cream because she could definitely stand to lose a few pounds.
M.J., on the other hand, is adventurous, sexy and always has just the right witty comeback on hand. When looking in the mirror, she sees someone hot and dateable (especially by cutie Jackson House).
Plain Jane and M.J. don't often agree. But no matter what they do or think, they're stuck with each other because they both live in Mary Jane Ettermeyer's head. They bicker over what to wear, who to sit with at lunch, and, of course, Jackson.
Unfortunately, Jackson is dating queen mean bee Star Simons. Star has a certain level of paranoia when it comes to her relationship with Jackson. So you can imagine the rumors that fly when Jackson and Mary Jane leave a study party together, even if it's only for a four-minute run to the gas station for some pop. Mary Jane soon finds out that not only is Star on a mission to keep her as far away from Jackson as possible, but that Star will stop at nothing to make her life miserable. Coke is (intentionally) spilled, rumors are spread and Mary Jane's phone won't stop ringing with calls from boys who hear she performs quite well on dates. This would be the perfect time for Mary Jane to ask for advice from her best friend, but Alicia, who graduated early, is miles away at Southern Illinois University.
In spite of Star's crazy stalkerish behavior, Jackson starts hanging out with Mary Jane; soon they're officially dating. They decide to spend the Friday after Thanksgiving together, but as the big day approaches, Mary Jane worries that Jackson is in their relationship for sex, which she isn't ready for. Her friends all have ideas for what Mary Jane should do --- but how much can she trust someone who just broke up with her boyfriend and another who's been with her boyfriend forever?
To do it, or not to do it? This is an eternal question, one that Mary Jane tries to answer with humor and honesty. Her constantly fighting "angel vs. devil" voices are something all of us have, even if we haven't named them. CRAZY IN LOVE is fun and fluffy, and if you can't get enough of books with pink sparkly covers, then you won't be disappointed.

Outrageously funny & so true! Jan 28, 2007
I loved this book from the first line--laugh-out-loud funny. And the story manages to have depth in characters and plot, without giving up an inch of wit and humor. You'll identify with Mary Jane, love her, agonize with her, and tell all your friends about her.
