For Keeps by Natasha Friend
For sixteen years, Josie Gardner and her mom, Kate, have been a team. It’s been the Gardner Girls against the world, and that’s how Josie likes it. Until one day, in the pet food aisle of Shop-Co, they run into the parents of Paul Tucci, Kate’s high school boyfriend—the father Josie has never met. If Mr. and Mrs. Tucci are back in town, it’s only a matter of time until Paul shows up. Suddenly Josie’s mature, capable mother regresses to the heartbroken teenager she was when Paul moved away.
Meanwhile, Josie’s on the verge of having her first real boyfriend, while her free-loving best friend, Liv, begins yet another no-strings-attached fling. When Josie learns some surprising truths about Paul Tucci, she finds herself questioning what she’s always believed about her parents—and about herself.
In FOR KEEPS, Natasha Friend tells a fresh, funny, smart story about what happens when a girl gets the guy she always wanted and the dad she never knew she needed.
Release Date: April 2010

This sounds quite a nostalgic read. I think it will be bittersweet. I like those kinds of stories but do have to be in the right frame of mind for them. The covers sweet too. great pick!
Looks awesome! I've seen this in quite a few blogs :-)
Aw, I love the cover! It sounds like a very good book. :)
I want to read this one too! Great Pick!
That sounds so real, complex, and lovely. Nice choice.
It sounds like a great story, and the cover is so cute!
I like the sound of this. I always find those mother/father-she-never-knew kind of stories intriguing. Nice pick.
