A 16 year-old girl, Kelsey lives in a rural Nova Scotian village. Her best friend has left for the summer and she has gotten a job at a local restaurant. She is worried about how she will survive the summer without her best friend. Her crush has recently become single and Kelsey and her best friend have made a checklist to help her to get a kiss and date from Blaine (Kelsey's crush). Her new job was the first step however once this is checked off everything seems to go wrong for Kelsey. She worries about how her actions look to other people and what other people think of her. This seems to make her not want to branch out and try new things for fear of looking silly. She makes an unlikely friend at work with the boy that works in the kitchen and one of the girls she never talked to at school. In the end she figures out that sometimes you need to let things happen.
This book would appeal to the Jr High (grades 7-9) age group potentially the lower end of high school (grade 10). The books does lean more towards the female readers because of the subject matter that it is dealing with and how it is dealt with. The story is strictly told from the point of view of Kelsey. Girls would relate to this book because they may be feeling the same feelings and have the same worries that Kelsey has about her life.
Rating: 3/5
