It's tough for a Man U supporter when the girl of his dreams comes from a Liverpool-crazy family with three brothers. Especially when Liverpool has just won the match. Terry tries to get through while his mum and dad move on to separate lives, and his oldest friend turns away from him. He gets back together with Julie–but he learns that you never get 'closure': there's always another football season and always the next chapter in a relationship, but meanwhile things with Julie are enough to be going on with. This is Terry's diary–lighthearted, fast-paced, up to the minute, and totally believable.

From AudioFile:
Shy Terry let the girl of his dreams, Julie Carter, slip into the arms of obnoxious "Frisky" Fitzpatrick. He's seen his dad lose his mum forever. Can he keep the same thing from happening to him and Julie? Stephen Tompkinson's successfully characterizes a teenaged boy torn up over the girl he loves. But American listeners may have a hard time following the details of English football, which figure largely in the novel.
