YA
In a modern Much Ado About Nothing takeoff, feuding seniors and comic-book fans Trixie and Ben are set up by their friends to believe that each loves the other. Witty wordplay infuses the teens' banter as the nerdy but mostly likable characters face common high-school issues. Pop-culture references, from Buffy the Vampire Slayer to Star Wars, abound in this long but enjoyable novel.
