The Serious Kiss

14-year-old Libby wants

one thing:

a serious kiss...

...not some slobber session beneath the bleachers, not some party kiss in somebody's basement or fake kiss 'cause a guy wants you to think he loves you so you'll do more. No, not a liar's kiss. Libby wants a kiss that's the real deal: Love. True love.

Only problem is, her family is in a meltdown, her life is a toxic waste dump, the guy she likes already has a girlfriend, and her best friend just fell in love during detention. Even Juan Dog, her chihuahua, is beginning to wish he were in another family! When it can't possibly get any worse--you got it--it does.
