Chasing the Boy

When Jaime - newly high-school-liberated girl- meets Gregg -
beautiful college boy - she couldn't be more smitten. He is a dream
come true and something about their meeting has the feel of fate.
They talk about traveling the world, future ambitions and the importance of
family, among other philosophical issues. Jaime thinks she has
met her soulmate and can just hear the chords of Pachelbel's Canon
ringing in her head. She is beginning to fantasize about their future
wedding and what they will name their children when he tells her he is
going to Greece for the entire summer. Even worse - he is leaving the
very next morning.
Jaime finds herself in a romantic funk. After meeting Mr. Right, no
boy stands a chance. All around her, summer romance blossoms
and it makes her want to puke. When she discovers an acquaintance has a crush on her - a young man who would've been quite cute if it weren't for the unfortunate uni-brow parked on his forehead - she gives into the pressure of her best friend and embarks on an
awkward romance, which has an even more awkward ending.
Jaime decides she is going to wait for Gregg to get home from Greece,
and she's going to make him fall in love with her. She heads into
battle armed with her the support of her friends and tons of research on how to make a man fall in love. As time passes and she gets to know him, she realizes that Gregg is less like Mr.
Sensitivity and more like Casanova, with his belt of many notches.
Dealing with disillusionment is not the best time for another guy to
enter the picture, but he does anyway. Joey, her younger brother's
red-headed, glasses-wearing best friend, seems like a major pain in
the backside - especially when he dethrones Jaime from her reign as
Queen of Clue. Underneath his flippant attitude is a charm and wit that
eventually convinces Jaime that sometimes, real love comes in the most
surprising packages.
