In this amazing book Boy Trouble: The Complicated Life of Claudia Cristina Cortez by Diana G. Gallagher. The main Characters for the book are Claudia,Brad, Rusty, Grandma, mom, Tommy, and Becca. Claudia was going to the movies with Rusty the new boy and one day he told her that he wasn't going to go with her because he was going to go with his girlfriend.Tommy and Becca had a blind date for Claudia so she could and so Becca and Tommy wouldn't be alone. I wonder if Anna is going to do something when she finds out who was Claudia's blind date.

Claudia has a problem. She has liked Brad Turino forever. She just can't talk to him. Then he asks her to help him with his writing assignment. Enter Rusty the new guy. Claudia has befriended him. Whe Rusty asks her to go to the movies with him she is torn between having a first date with Rusty and her true feelings for Brad. Read this book was like watching and listening to the girls in my middle school. I look forward to recommending this book. It is a simple and quick read.
