Anatomy of a Boyfriend

Snadowksy, Daria. Anatomy of a Boyfriend. New York: Delacorte Press, 2007.

 

Anatomy of a Boyfriend is a book that is intended for the love struck teenager. It is about a nerdy science girl in her senior year of high school who has the "hots" for the track star of her best friend’s school. Dominique, the main character, goes to a private school in Florida where her mom teaches math. She is the star of the Science Quiz team and is planning to major in premed in college. Until one night at the students vs. teachers football game at her best friend’s school, she meets Wes, the track star.  Dominique’s best friend Amy used to be on the track team and has no problem talking to Wes. Since Dominique has the “hots” for Wes, Amy’s main goal is to hook them up and have her best friend lose her virginity. Dominique and Wes hit it off really well and start dating. College is the least of their problems until the day comes that Wes gets accepted to his dream school in NYC. This is far from Florida, let alone Tulane, where Dominique is accepted.

This book is truly meant to be a young adult piece of literature and a very strong teenage girl read filled with lovey-dovey situations.  Any teenage girl would fall in love with the book, until the very end. Where it ends with nothing but a sentence that leaves you out to dry.
