  "Growing up is inevitable but confusing for Lucy, whose 16th summer unfolds with the sweet, languid pace of her small Louisiana town. Her mother might be having an affair, her best friend's boyfriend might be cheating, and something's up with her favorite aunt's love life. There's romance brewing at the local retirement home, and the sexy new drama teacher doesn't seem to appreciate her baby-sitting skills as much as he seems to want something else–something that feels especially wrong compared to the feeling Lucy gets around blond, piano-playing Dewey. Her professed reticence to growing up seems mildly at odds with her perceptive nature, but overall her coming-of-age rings true. With a cast of distinctive characters, this story is told with humor and warmth and is deliciously full of Cajun metaphors and mouth-watering cooking descriptions–and one particular scene with Tabasco that will provoke squirms and giggling."

  For Lucy Beauregard, each day in her sleepy southern town looks a lot like the next - days of riding her bicycle and skinny dipping with her friends, delivering flowers to the wonderfully odd folds in her town, and listening to her mama dish out her Loo-zee-anna gospel of wisdom.
  Falling in love isn't something she has planned. In fact, there are a whole lot of things she hasn't planned, like her two best friends getting their first tastes of love, or the attraction her very-married mama seems to have for another man, or the confusing flurry in her own heart stirred by a handsome - and much older - stranger. And then there's the arrival of Dewey, a boy unlike anyone she's ever known. In one sweltering summer, Lucy not only discovers herself but soars into love, Cajun style.
