Chasing Boys

What if you have a crush on a boy who happens to be dating someone else?

What if you devise a brilliant plan to make him change his mind?

What if that plan totally backfires?

Life would be perfect for El Marini if she and Eric Callahan were together. Everything else that's been wrong in her life since her dad left simply wouldn't matter anymore—or so she thinks ...

So she sets out to win Eric over by befriending the one person she envies most, his perfect girlfriend, Angelique. But things get confusing when El actually starts to see Angelique as a real person, and maybe even as a friend. It's only when she meets Dylan—who is both unnerving and annoying for reasons El can't explain—that she begins to wonder if chasing boys is more trouble than it's worth.
