A Longtime (and at one point illegal) Crush by Janette Rallison and C.J. HillSummary from Goodreads:
From the day Elsie’s older brother brought his friend Kye McBride over to their house, Elsie adored him. When she was eight, she secretly blew kisses to him. When she was twelve, she sat on the stairs unnoticed and watched him escort another girl to prom. When she was a senior in high school, she walked into math class and found out he was her new math teacher.
With that much emotion fueling her, things were bound to go wrong. And they did. Elsie not only spent the last two weeks of school avoiding him, she turned avoiding-Kye-at-all-costs into her life-long philosophy.
Now three years have passed and Elsie has come home for her brother’s wedding. She’s got to face Kye-–hopefully without getting crushed again.

My Review:
This is a cute, short story. It has the typical teenage angst of liking a guy who you can't have. But it also has some funny moments of klutziness and embarrassment. And some happy moments too. I need those.
Warnings: None
I would let my 15 year old read this, but I wouldn't recommend it to her. When I say recommend, I mean that I wouldn't say, "Hey, you should read this book".
Good review. Thanks for sharing.
