Just Friends by Dyan Sheldon

1.0

I received an ARC of this book by Dyan Sheldon, who also wrote the popular novel (and hit movie) "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen." Unfortunately I really could not get into it at all and dropped it halfway through. Josh's obsessive pursuit of Jenna is more annoying than cute, and Jenna treats him like dirt most of the time. It's obvious where things will end up with Ramona, who really likes Josh for the quirky guy he his, and Josh's real friends are entirely too forgiving of Josh's absurd behavior.

Last, the book was written in the present tense, which sometimes can work, but in this case made it awkward and stilted to read. DNF.
