This is a YA book about April, a 14 year old blond, Scandinavian girl who lives in the middle of an Italian mafia's neighborhood. She has an older brother, Matt, and a younger brother, Sammy who she often babysits. Her best friend, Brandi, lives next door. Matt is in love with a girl who is a mob head's daughter, which gets him into ALOT of trouble. April is in love with a rocker who has a ponytail, does drugs, and skips class named Dominick. Brandi asks her to go on a double date with her with a guy she's never met named Bert, who is significantly shorter than April, but who ends up having a huge crush on her. Little Joe, Matt's best friend, starts to fall in love with April as well. When Dominick finally notices her, Little Joe is dangerously upset. Without giving away the whole story, it was fun to see how April handled everything with all 3 guys. The only thing stopping it from being 5 stars, is the ending. It left me asking "what just happened?" I was very surprised when I got to the last page....and that was it. I wanted more answers!

“This was a great book! I love romance books, and while this was low tone romance, it definitely was one! Yes, do not let the title fool you, it is a great teen book. I think that it was so sweet that Little Joey was in love with her, and what they went through together were hilarious and sometimes embarrassing! Anyway, I give this a huge thumbs up, with both hands!”

“Don't let the title scare you! (don't judge a book by their cover. lol) It's a good teen book, too. It is set in the 1970s, so if you like books that are set in the older days, this book it for you. :) ”

“This book was fun to read,it was kind of a mystery but not in the sherlock holmes way.It was more trying to keep up with high school,trying to woo the bad boy you're crushin on,and to watch out for the hit men that live near your house,or even across the street.These are the kinds of obstacles,14 year April must face.”
