Betsy Ray has always thought that she and the fascinating Joe Willard would make the perfect couple. Now, in her senior year at Deep Valley High School, it looks as though she'll get her wish. As soon as Joe returns from his summer job in North Dakota, he's on the Rays' porch with sweet words for Betsy. It's going to be a wonderful senior year!

Then Tony Markham, Betsy's longtime chum, comes calling -- and his intentions are definitely romantic. Betsy is torn. She really cares for Joe, but she doesn't want to hurt Tony. Can she figure out a way to follow her heart without ruining her friendship?

This is probably my favorite of the high school Betsy/Tacy books, just because the ending is so perfect.

This is definitely my favorite book of all time. I have read it every year since I was ten. Love, love, love. Not a one off read however, it is crucial to have read the others in the series prior to this. Betsy Ray might be the love of my life...
