Note To Self:
Remind me to have my head examined. What exactly possessed me to come home to Millbrook, Maine, where nothing changes but the weather? Oh, right. A six-month grant to do genetics research at Rand laboratories. What can I say—I'm a smart girl. And smart girls get what they need and get out again. Smart girls don't dream, they settle. And smart girls do not get completely tongue-tied while holding a basket of fried clams when they bump into the most gorgeous man they haven't seen in fifteen years: Chase Jordan.
Remind me to have my hormones removed. Chase Jordan. Town bad boy. Rebel with a cause to show up in my dreams unannounced. Oh boy, this is not good. Not smart. It's like high school all over again. But in a good way. A heart-thumping way. An I-have-no-idea-what's-going-to-happen way. A way that's making me feel like maybe settling for what I have isn't so smart. . .but really going after what I want is the craziest thing I may ever do. . .

      Not only are the three Stepp sisters dirt-poor, reason enough to suffer taunting and rejection at their high school in the small Maine town of Millbrook, each has her own mockery-inducing peculiarity: one is a super-intelligent geek, another is on the wrong side of chubby, and the third is six feet tall. In the first installment in a planned trilogy about the sisters, Love focuses on the brainiac, Abby, who leaves Millbrook as quickly as her college scholarship allows. She becomes a well-respected researcher, leads a respectable life, and has a dull but respectable boyfriend. Then a choice research position opens up in Millbrook. Ignoring the conventional warning that you can't go home again, Abby returns, only to face the same crowd that made her life hell in high school. Worse yet, she's attracted to former high-school bad boy Chase Jordan. With an enjoyable blend of humor and pathos, Love transforms her heroine from someone emotionally trapped in her past to someone embracing her present.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2004, American Library Association.)
