About this ebook
Being stuck at home with the flu is bad, but being heartsick is worse!
Ugh! Maddie and her BFFs Fiona and Aimee all have the flu and need to stay home from school. Maddie is so sick that Gramma Helen has to fly in from Chicago to take care of her while her mom works. Trapped in bed, Maddie’s only interaction with the outside world is through her computer and her bedroom window. When she spies a cute boy next door, she wonders how she never noticed him before. The boy is Josh Turner—a ninth grader—and Maddie certainly notices him now. Josh seems to be flirting with her, and Maddie is falling hard. It seems her long-held crush on Hart has faded. Is it possible that Maddie has had a change of heart?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book was so good! Everyone knows, it's not fun to be sick. No one knows it better than Maddie. She is stuck inside with the flu, and ends up having bronchitis. She spends all day on her laptop chatting with her two best friends, that are sick too. Her sick days start to look up, when she notices a boy who lives next door. She never saw the boy before, and she finds out he goes to her school. What happens next? You have to read the book to find out!
