Shelly Barr thinks she's boring and plain, and always feels second best. But Ryan Gallagher thinks she's someone special and wants to go steady with her! She's excited and happy - until her sister fixes her up with Nick, a sophisticated college boy. Shelly tries to keep the date a secret, but Ryan finds out and angrily breaks up with her. And Shelly's not even sure she likes Nick. Their first date was a disaster!
Shelly's so worried. All she wants is Ryan - but can a second best girl wind up in first place? [text from book jacket]
