Romantic complications take centre stage in the sixth book in the popular series

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Love is in the air! Julie and Roland are an official "couple," which means . . . well, they're not exactly sure what, except that it makes Papa Dad extremely anxious. Meanwhile, Lydia's mom announces that she's marrying Coach Eric (the soccer coach from England), and Lydia and her sister, Melody, are not happy about it. With the wedding date looming, the girls will have to figure out how to accept the inevitability of change-and that even if the change isn't what you thought you wanted, it can still end up all right, as long as you have good friends at your side. Praise for The Popularity Papers: Book Six
"Julie and Lydia discover just how rocky the road to romance can be in the sixth installment of Ignatow's Popularity Papers... fans of the series will be rewarded with plenty of giggle-worthy antics from Julie and Lydia."
--Kirkus Reviews
