Fifteen Love is a funny up-and-down story about a boy and a girl, a viola and a tennis racquet; about family and friends, flirting and true love.

From the Back Cover

New York Public Library's Books for the Teen Age, 2004

"Funny, quirky, and satisfyingly romantic."-- School Library Journal

"Where [Fifteen Love] really shines is in its intimate yet universal detailing of Will and Mia's angst-filled conversations, petty jealousies, bad viola jokes, self-doubts, and personal recriminations .... Very funny."-- The Horn Book
