A Match Made in High School
Pranks, fights, misunderstandings, and reconciliations ensue in an almost Shakespearean comedy of errors about mistaken first impressions, convoluted coupling, and hidden crushes.

Then she marries her "husband": jerky jock Todd, whose cheerleader girlfriend, Amanda, has had it in for Fiona since day one of second grade. Even worse? Amanda is paired with Fiona's long-term crush, Gabe.

I did not expect anything big from the book since the whole idea itself seemed silly. A Marriage Education program was proposed by the school's counselor wherein senior girls and boys will be paired to act like a true married couple (which I find really unrealistic). Todd and Fiona hated each other. Unfortunately, they were accidentally paired for the said course. It was like heaven vs hell whenever they are in the same area. Totally mismatched! In the beginning everything was cool and funny.
