Dating Blues (Wildfire, No 77)

Description:

It's not true that any boy is better than no boy. For Beth-Ann Hughes, who just turned 16, "dating blues" used to mean "no dates." But after great-looking Kenny and upperclassman Curtis start asking her out, Beth-Ann knows that having lots of dates - with the wrong boys - can be even worse! Her best friend tells her she's too picky; there's no such thing as a perfect boy. Then Beth-Ann meets Tony and she knows that isn't true. Tony is perfect - but does he care for Beth-Ann as much as she cares for him? Beth-Ann is finally in love, and everything should be wonderful. So why is she still feeling those dating blues?
