Now all she had to do was convince her parents and deal with pesky Danny Flynn, who seemed to be bugging her all the time. She found that she could handle her parents, but Danny was another story. Why did he persistently feel that he knew all the answers? Worse yet, how come she found herself occasionally agreeing with him? It was all very unsettling . . . [text from book jacket]
