Getting the Girl

(2) YA Cameron can't measure up to his older brother Ruben when it comes to getting a girl. But when Rube callously discards his latest girlfriend, Cam begins to forge his first serious relationship with Octavia. This story of first love complicated by sibling rivalry lacks the blustering narrative voice of its predecessor, Fighting Ruben Wolfe, but does demonstrate the often-ignored fact that teenage boys also fall heart-stoppingly in love.
