NEVER BEEN KISSED

Josie Geller wants more out of life. As a bright, twenty-five-year-old copy editor at Chicago's revered newspaper, The Chicago Sun-Times, she yearns to be a reporter. Josie is skilled at her profession, but completely clueless in her personal life. She was a brainy nerd in high school, a geek to the core - kids called her "Josie Grossie" - and she has never had a serious relationship with a man. Josie has never, she laments, really been kissed. But things are about to change for Josie - in ways she could never have imagined - when her dream to become a reporter becomes a reality. Her first assignment couldn't be more nightmarish: she must go undercover at a local high school to report on today's teenagers. Now, eight years senior to the oldest pupil in the class, Josie must figure out her story - and a potential new love - while reliving her horrific adolescence and negotiating high school's social and emotional land mines.
