My Thoughts: When I first saw the title of this book I was thinking to myself, "Oh yes, this should be interesting; my kind of book!!" I loved the whole premise of this! We meet Fiona who is in love with Gabe. Gabe doesn't really even know she exists. We meet Marcie who is Fiona's best friend. On the first day of senior year they find out they will be paired with a marriage partner for the whole year! Of course Fiona gets stuck with Todd, the jerky cheerleader whom she can't stand. Marcie gets Johnny Mercer who is a quiet bigger type of guy. And Gabe gets Amanda (Todd's girlfriend). From the very first conversation between Todd and Fiona, you can tell how much they despise each other. I won't give away the whole plot but this book is full of so many surprises you won't see half of them coming. There were a few I had a feeling they were going to happen but in the back of my mind, I was thinking to myself, "please don't." So when they did, my mouth would drop open a bit! Todd and Fiona are out to get each other, they do not want to be partners so they start playing pranks on each other. Funny and amusing tricks! This book was so much fun. Between the pranks, the realizations, the twists and turns, it was a thrill ride that I'm glad I was on!

Overall: Loved it. Thinking back to high school, I can remember how embarrassing it would have been to have to have a marriage partner for the whole year. Torture, right? hehe. This book is a great book to read if your in the mood for laugh out laugh moments. The ending surprised me a bit, but honestly I liked how it worked out and who ended up with who.

Cover: Love It! It just fits, doesn't it?
