This is the 7th in a teen series on Linda, a girl from New York and her day to day life through junior high up through college. The series focuses on relationships, growing pains and school.

In "Dedicated to that boy I love" Linda is hoping to be accepted into a college of her choice and dealing with the new stresses of transitioning with her friends, parents and long time boyfriend, Lenny, who has been a feature throughout the series.

Linda is a goal-driven character, anxious to have the best education she can for herself, so her romantic life has to battle with her studies, which is very well written by Lewis. I remember reading these books and waiting anxiously for the next to come out. Great story that spans many tumultuos years. You find yourself rooting for Linda everytime and relishing in her successes. ( )
