April has a New Year's resolution to start the year off right—get back together with sweet, funny Billy. They've been friends forever, her family loves him, and he's even class president this year. But she keeps getting stuck on several questions: What does Billy think about her? What's going on between Billy and their friend Brynn? And why does she feel she needs to keep her friendship with Matt Parker, her hot neighbor, a secret? When Cupid throws April a curve ball, she's faced with a new problem: how does a girl follow her heart when old friendships, new friendships, and her family's trust are on the line?

### From School Library Journal

Gr 5–8—Life is still topsy-turvy for the boisterous April Sinclair as she deals with old flames, new friendships, and a hot, secret crush. A solid series for tweens who want to read YA romance books but perhaps aren't mature enough just yet.

### Review

"Since third grade April's best friends have been Brynn and Billy. Now that April is 13, the triangular relationship has inevitably shifted a bit, as recorded in *Can You Say Catastrophe?* (2013) and *Too Good to Be True* (2014). Which boy does April really like: Billy, her longtime friend and one-time boyfriend, or Matt, an older boy whose good looks and hot kisses take her breath away? April tries to sort out her feelings in her diary. Complicating matters, Brynn appears to be making a play for Billy just when April decides to make her move in that direction. When talking with Brynn and Billy becomes awkward, April confides in Sophie, a sophisticated cousin with poise and insight beyond her years. More credible than Sophie's even-keeled persona, **April's emotional ups and downs sound authentic and plausible as she navigates the choppy waters of young romance.** Another angst-driven episode in the Mostly Miserable Life of April Sinclair series." --*Booklist*
