About this title

From School Library Journal:

Grade 8 Up-- High school senior Alessandra, now recovered from her disastrous infatuation of the previous year ( Alessandra in Love Harper Collins, 1989), is attracted to talented and popular junior, Terrence, but her friend Melissa convinces her to date Barry instead. Alessan dra finds Barry endearing but boring, and chases after the fickle Terrence; Barry is hurt and angered when, in a crisis, he reaches out to Alessandra and is rebuffed, only to find Ter rence with her later that day. Alessandra de cides that she needs to know where she stands with Terrence before she's hurt as well. While this is a better than average teenage romance, there are minor irritations. The first few chap ters are sprinkled with au courant , too-cute bits of dialogue, only some of which are funny. Also, Terrence sometimes sounds closer to age 30. Still, this is a sequel that stands on its own, with a convincing plot and honest ending. --Jo- Anne Weinberg, Greenburgh Pub . Lib . , NY
