Request #230

I think this book was part of a school book club.. it was a 1980s YA book about teen girl who dates a new boy who everyone likes. However he is inconsiderate and does not call her when he says he will. She goes away with his family and he and his father go out (Maybne fishing) and dont call or come home when they are supposed to. Sheis worried but the boys mom is not. When they finally arrive the boy and his father act like it is no big deal. She ask the mom how she feels and says that she is used to it and that parties hard but when her husband is in the room he makes everything fun so it is worth it. The girl decides this is not for her and breaks up with the boy. He doesn’t seem concerned and calls once after but she doesn’t answer. She later sees him dating another girl who looks at her triumphantly.

  1. Dream Boy by Ann Reit. I just read it for the first time a few weeks ago after seeing several references to it in Molly’s blog!
