Booklist - 05/01/2024 Andrew and Eve have long been the very best of friends. But now they’re entering a new era. Bodies are changing. Friends are changing. Everyone’s dating. With Eve’s home life newly in shambles, she caves in to peer pressure and asks Andrew to the school dance. Of course, Andrew says yes and the plot thickens as they become boyfriend and girlfriend and the relationship becomes the exact opposite of what they had before. The exact opposite of what worked so well. Neither one of them can break up with the other, of course, because they both want to go back to being best of friends and a break up would ruin everything. When Eve believes Andrew has a new adoration for a fellow drumline participant, things escalate into a glow-paint war and the whole school goes bananas. Eventually, Andrew’s homemade brownies save the day. This is a fairly straightforward tale in many ways but will be funny and real for a whole lot of middle-schoolers. Includes references to body image, periods, and perhaps one too many references to armpit hair. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
