Synopsis
An utterly authentic story of first (and second and third) love, told in accessible free verse and featuring a new cover and larger trim size.
It's not that I'm boy crazy.
It's just that even though
I'm almost fifteen
I've been having sort of a hard time
trying to figure out the difference
between love and lust.
It's like
my mind
and my body
and my heart
just don't seem to be able to agree
on anything.
