Whenever I see a good-looking boy, I am impressed first and embarrassed second. I am never quite sure what embarrasses me, but I start blushing as if I had written about him in my diary and he had just read it.... Nancy has lots of dream dates - but no real ones. She never knows what to say or how to act around boys. But with Nick it's different. The first time they meet, they laugh and talk and joke, but Nick thinks of her as just a friend - and Nancy begins to wonder if all her dates will be dream dates....If only they didn't live so far apart. They never get to see each other. Then Nancy invites Nick to the Final Fling at her school. She's so excited! The last thing she expects is a disaster.... [text from book jacket]
