Back when I was in the final year of high school, we had a Scholastic book fair, where the catalogue I was presented flashed a book titled Spring Fling at me, the pretty cover of which grabbed my attention at once. I had to buy it and I think when I did, that was the only copy of it at school.

And in no time at all, the pretty cover and the blurb at the back magnetised almost every single one of the girls in my class that I didn’t see the book for three months after I read it, before it was returned safe and sound to me
