I love this book and read it countless times when I was in high school even though the only copy my school library owned had a whole chapter torn out. It is a really interesting "love" story with a zany female lead character to foil the more sensible male narrator. ( )

At 17, Dewey Daniels is fed up with his boring high school and decides to drop out, taking a part-time job at Richmond Valley Hospital. one day he catches fellow dropout Yvette Goethals stealing hospital supplies, and it's lust at first sight. But Yvette and Dewey are like night and day: she's a vegetarian and couldn't care less about a romantic commitment; he loves cheeseburgers and can't get Yvette out of his mind. By the time these two get through with each other, will true love ever be the same? ( )
