About the book

"Are you a real live person or a doll? Do you have any insides or are you just beautiful outside?" April's problem has always been her beauty. Of course people find that hard to believe, but April says: "When I'm quiet, they say I think I'm too good for them. When I've got a lot to say, they say I'm conceited." Then April meets Nick, and nothing is the same! It doesn't matter what the kids in school say about her … until Nick turns out to be like all the others. How can she help it if he thinks too much about her, if his schoolwork is suffering, if his dream of going to the Naval Academy doesn't come true? Is that supposed to be April's fault too?
