I Love You, Beth Cooper

This is a fairly light and entertaining read. While the story's plot line may be movie-cliche familiar, and the characters are not developed much beyond the typical high school stereotypes, the humor on display rarely fails to please. Doyle illustrates to hilarious effect the one crucial life lesson that every American adolescent male must awkwardly learn to contend with–the shocking realization that the girl who actually sits next to him in his class will rarely match-up with the mythological girl who resides in his head.
