Crazy in Love

High school senior Mary Jane Ettermeyer has been struggling to be the good girl for a long time, and so far, she's been able to keep her pledge of abstinence. But when the cutest guy in school starts flirting with her, she suddenly finds herself crazy in love, even though a) Jackson House can't possibly think she's cute, so this must be a joke and b) she's vowed to keep herself pure until marriage and c) he shouldn't even be talking to her, because he already has a girlfriend!With perception, honesty, and plenty of humor, bestselling author Dandi Daley Mackall deftly explores that wild roller coaster of a ride called first love.
