From the bestselling author of Plan B comes a funny and touching new
novel about a girl, a boy, and a notebook that could ruin everything.
Emily Abbott has always been considered the Girl Most Likely to Be
Nice--but lately being nice hasn't done her any good. Her parents have
decided to move the family from Chicago back to their hometown of Boston
in the middle of Emily's senior year. Only Emily's first real boyfriend,
Sean, is in Chicago, and so is her shot at class valedictorian and early
admission to the Ivy League. What's a nice girl to do? Then Sean dumps
Emily on moving day and her father announces he's staying behind in
Chicago "to tie up loose ends," and Emily decides that what a nice girl
needs to do is to stop being nice.
She reconnects with her best friends in Boston, Josie and Lucy, only to
discover that they too have been on the receiving end of some glaring
Guy Don'ts. So when the girls have to come up with something to put in
the senior class time capsule, they know exactly what to do. They'll
create a not-so-nice reference guide for future generations of guys--an
instruction book that teaches them the right way to treat girls.
But when her friends draft Emily to test out their tips on Luke
Preston--the hottest, most popular guy in school, who just broke up with
Josie by email--Emily soon finds that Luke is the trickiest of test
subjects...and that even a nice girl like Emily has a few things to
learn about love.
