Annie is reluctant to give advice to Tim, the boy she's interested in, about getting another girl to go out with him, but doesn't want to lose Tim's friendship
Synopsis (taken from http://sweetdreamsseries.com): Annie's shyness disappeared when she started giving the guys advice about their girlfriends. Now all the boys talk to her, especially Tim, the boy Annie's crazy about. At first, Annie's thrilled just to be with Tim - until he asks Annie about how to keep beautiful, stuck-up Marcy in line. Now Annie needs some advice of her own. If she helps Tim keep Marcy she'll never get a chance with him. But if she doesn't, will Tim stop being her friend?
*Yawn* The storyline is very dull and just sits on an even par allllll the way through with no dramatic climax. At all. However, at least the character wasn't as annoying/dumb/bitchy as some of the other Sweet Dreams books. She's also not exciting either. All in all a very forgettable book.
I am going to give this two stars for the 80s teen glam cover and those random, unexpected moments of conjuring of *feeling* about the social and political turbulence of high school. The rest - the crap storyline, the phony teen-speak dialogue, the interchangeable WASPy characters - is forgivable, and forgettable, and the cost of doing business when you go on an 80s YA bender. A good, reliable C- work from the Sweet Dreams factory.
