About this product
Product Information
A week of her mother's wedding chaos brings a new boy and numerous other complications into Cricket's life in this funny and romantic novel from Printz Honor medal winner and National Book Award finalist Deb Caletti.

For one thing, her mother's romance is taking center stage--after jilting two previous fianc s, her mom is finally marrying Dan Jax, whom Cricket loves. And as wedding attendees arrive for a week of festivities at a guesthouse, Cricket discovers the guesthouse's hippie owners have a sweet and sexy son--Ash--who Cricket can't help being drawn to despite her current romantic predicament. Meanwhile, complications abound: Cricket's future stepsisters are busy making it clear they're not happy about the marriage; an old friend decides this is the week to declare his love for Cricket; Grandpa reveals a big secret at a family gathering; and Dan's ex-wife shows up. Even the dogs--Cricket's old, ill Jupiter and Dan's young, lively Cruiser--seem to be declaring war. While Cricket fears that Dan is in danger of becoming ditched husband-to-be number three, she's also alarmed by her own desires. Because even though her boyfriend looms large in her mind, Ash is right in front of her...

Reviews
"Smart, likable Cricket is supported by a surfeit of colorful characters and plenty of action.... Caletti [has] exceptional insight into and compassion for her characters..." -- Kirkus Reviews, "The story is driven by meticulously delineated and authentically imperfect characters-even Jupiter, Cricket's elderly beagle, has a personality all her own-and sharp, clever Gilmore Girls -esque dialogue. Cricket's first-person narration is mature and...self-aware; her observations about the nature of family, friendship, and the canine/human connection ring true." -- The Horn Book, "Caletti's writing possesses both vigor and perceptivity, with characters brought to vivid life in a quick turn of phrase. Readers uncertain about their own upcoming big moves into adulthood may relate to Cricket's anxiety and applaud her negotiation of a difficult transition." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, "Caletti'stalent for creating interesting, complex characters and relationshipsthat remind readers of their own families shines through in this novel.... a beautiful, emotion-driven story.
