Plain Jane is every parent's favorite: a smart, sensible and
brutally honest rule-follower who always thinks of others before
herself. Given the choice, she'd take broccoli over ice cream
because she could definitely stand to lose a few pounds.

M.J., on the other hand, is adventurous, sexy and always has just
the right witty comeback on hand. When looking in the mirror, she
sees someone hot and dateable (especially by cutie Jackson
House).

Plain Jane and M.J. don't often agree. But no matter what they do
or think, they're stuck with each other because they both live in
Mary Jane Ettermeyer's head. They bicker over what to wear, who to
sit with at lunch, and, of course, Jackson. 

Unfortunately, Jackson is dating queen mean bee Star Simons. Star
has a certain level of paranoia when it comes to her relationship
with Jackson. So you can imagine the rumors that fly when Jackson
and Mary Jane leave a study party together, even if it's only for a
four-minute run to the gas station for some pop. Mary Jane soon
finds out that not only is Star on a mission to keep her as far
away from Jackson as possible, but that Star will stop at nothing
to make her life miserable. Coke is (intentionally) spilled, rumors
are spread and Mary Jane's phone won't stop ringing with calls from
boys who hear she performs quite well on dates. This would be the
perfect time for Mary Jane to ask for advice from her best friend,
but Alicia, who graduated early, is miles away at Southern Illinois
University.

In spite of Star's crazy stalkerish behavior, Jackson starts
hanging out with Mary Jane; soon they're officially dating. They
decide to spend the Friday after Thanksgiving together, but as the
big day approaches, Mary Jane worries that Jackson is in their
relationship for sex, which she isn't ready for. Her friends all
have ideas for what Mary Jane should do --- but how much can she
trust someone who just broke up with her boyfriend and another
who's been with her boyfriend forever?

To do it, or not to do it? This is an eternal question, one that
Mary Jane tries to answer with humor and honesty. Her constantly
fighting "angel vs. devil" voices are something all of us have,
even if we haven't named them. CRAZY IN LOVE is fun and fluffy, and
if you can't get enough of books with pink sparkly covers, then you
won't be disappointed.
