Bookroo's summary

Mikey Elsinger never does anything halfway, so when she falls for Shawn Macavity, the gorgeous star of the school play, she goes overboard: a stylish new wardrobe, homemade cookies, their initials on every blackboard. Her friend Margalo tries to get her to tone it down, but Mikey won't listen, and Margalo may be hiding a romantic fantasy of her own.

From the publisher

Look out! Mikey Elsinger’s in love! Mikey never does anything halfway, so it’s no surprise that when she develops a not-so-secret crush on Shawn Macavity, the heartstoppingly gorgeous star of the school play, she goes a bit overboard. Soon Mikey – Mikey? – has a stylish new wardrobe, and she’s baking Shawn cookies, writing their initials on blackboards, even buying him a T-shirt emblazoned “I LOVE ME.” Fellow Bad Girl Margalo tries to get Mikey to turn things down a notch, but why should Mikey listen to her? – after all, what does Margalo know about being in love? Or is Margalo hiding a romantic fantasy of her own?
