When Amy and her family move to a new state, she quickly learns how much fun it is to be new-not! Everywhere Amy looks, she's surrounded by boys-stupid boys-including her own older brother, Rich.
Rich loves to torment Amy, and as soon as he makes new friends, Craig and Joel, in the neighborhood, he has an alliance within. Amy must endure their "friendship" in order to avoid being friendless and alone.
The thing about boys is they eventually grow up. And as Amy and Joel mature, their feelings for each other do too. The only problem is they never seem to like each other at the same time. One minute they are fast friends-or maybe a little more-and the next, they're sworn enemies.
Through the rollercoaster ride of high school and the trials of becoming an adult, Amy always has chocolate to get her through her day. Boys may come and go, but Hershey, Nestle, and See's are here to stay.
