Boy Crazy
Hailey Abbott
- Reading
- Try reading the opening together, then check in about how the pact and its changing appeal are coming across. The ending and the friends’ responses remain unclear.
- Themes
- Dating rules and changing feelings: Cassie and her friends make a pact to kiss ten boys each without commitments; Cassie later meets someone she likes. The premise sets up a contrast between keeping the pact casual and developing a particular interest, but the book’s judgement of that contrast is unknown.
- Friendship and former partners: One of the boys involved in the pact turns out to be Cassie’s best friend’s ex. This creates a possible loyalty dilemma, but the book’s treatment of the friendship and the people involved is not established.
- Worth knowing
- The premise includes a goal of kissing multiple boys and a ‘no commitments’ pact. The extent or detail of romantic content beyond that is unclear.
