Who does she think she is? Annalise's audacious freshman-year hookup with Cooper Franklin has a trio of friends thirsting for revenge. So they catfish Annalise by creating the perfect virtual guy, with Noelle playing along reluctantly only because her lifelong crush, Cooper, is in love with Annalise. As Annalise falls for it, even buying tickets for the concert of the year for her and her mythical new guy, Noelle feels more and more guilty. Then, the whole thing blows up and Annalise faces her betrayers. But when Annalise forgives, the reunited friends learn that adults--even famous adults--can be even more bogus than teenagers.

And her Jewish grandmother, on more than one occasion, has issued a stern edict: "Don't go with the goyim!" /DIV But still... Everyone's got an opinion - from her annoying neighbor Howard to her new, social-climbing best friend - only making it harder for Rachel to make a choice. Should she follow her heart and turn her back on her faith? Or should she heed her family's advice and try to find a nice Jewish boy? DIVWith an unforgettable cast of characters and razor-sharp wit, Melissa Schorr's debut novel is an engaging comedy about a girl going goy crazy.
