"This humorous guide provides insight into the elusive universe of boys, using questions, answers and quotations from real teens. Nebulous topics like 'hooking up' ('by definition, hook-ups don't lead to boyfriends') and being 'just friends' (in one image, a beaming girl is clearly thinking 'skateboarding partner' while the boy beside her has a heart in his thought bubble) are addressed with oodles of pop-culture literacy.
