YAGirls series.
When her best friends Magda and Nadine each get their first boyfriends, Ellie pretends she has a boyfriend, too--but really he's only Dopey Dan, the odd-looking but surprisingly funny guy she met on holiday. British language and setting flavor this humorous look at the anguish of starting high school, living with a blended family, dealing with puberty, and deciding it's okay to just be friends.
