As one reads through the Christy Miller books some of them tend to run together and feel a bit lightweight, yet are still fairly important stories for Christy's growth as a character. This is one of those -- Christy has turned 16 and is allowed to date, and so is "wooed" by the big man on campus Rick Doyle. She discovers that being by pursued by the hot guy isn't all that it's cracked up to be. Readers will know from the beginning how things will work out, but that's all right, Christy stays true to herself.
