Dyan Sheldon's 'The Crazy Things Girls Do for Love' is a witty young adult comedy about three distinct high school girls, Sicilee, Maya, and Waneeda, who initially join their school's Environmental Club solely to catch the eye of the charming new student, Cody Lightfoot. What begins as a superficial quest for romance quickly evolves into a journey of self-discovery, unexpected friendships, and a genuine appreciation for environmental activism. The book cleverly uses humor and relatable teenage drama to explore themes of identity, peer pressure, and finding purpose beyond superficial desires. It's suitable for ages 12-18, offering a lighthearted yet meaningful look at growing up and making a difference.
When fashionista Sicilee, arty Maya, and antisocial Waneeda risk their reputations by joining Clifton Springs High School's Environmental Club to be near gorgeous new student Cody Lightfoot, each finds a new way of looking at the world.
