(4) YA Ninth-grade Libby is saddled with an alcoholic father and a junk-food-junkie mother, both of whom make her life miserable. She's convinced that one serious kiss will help change her life for the better. Despite the lighthearted title and jacket cover, this sometimes uneven novel focuses less on the kiss and more on Libby's dysfunctional family.
