This book was the funniest book I've read, hands down. The main characters Emma and To are childhood friends that just hate each others guts. Emma is in a group of girls that hate the immature boys that are in their class. They go to the same health class and are constantly fighting there too. Emma and Tom go in the janitors closet and talk but, they get found out. People start taking that they are hooking up. Emma goes to gymnastics and tom shows up. He tries to jump on the trampoline but, Emma tries to stop them and they bump heads. What happens next is exiting and I strongly encourage you to read it.
