Dave Rosen has a secret. “Naomi,” the wise, witty, always-on-target, female writer behind his high school’s hit advice column, is, well, him. A native New Yorker who likes secondhand CD shops, The Simpsons, and meatball heroes.
A kid like him doesn’t have all the answers. He doesn’t even have most of the answers. Dave only got himself dragged into this fiasco to help out his older sister, the real Naomi—and because he let himself be convinced that it might, in some lunatic way, enable him to meet his dream girl, the senior who gets his weak little sophomore heart racing: Celeste Fanucci. If he could get Celeste to write in and open up her soul to “Naomi,” he could use this secret knowledge to transform himself.
He could bridge the unbridgeable chasm between sophomore boys and senior girls. It’s a grand, grand scheme. And it’s about to go haywire.
This is teens story with adult language and thought. I mean, not the vulgar and negative one but in a good way. This book is about teenager with the way of thinking like an adult. The story is serious. I don’t think teenagers like this book. It’s because of – maybe – Dave is different than other boys. He talks and thinks like girls’.

On the other hand, the story is good. Typical teens problem with a little thinking reading. How to look good in front of someone they like, how to start talking to them. Problems like that in boys' heads.
