Boyology :
Burningham, Sarah O'Leary.
Boyology : a teen girl's crash course in all things boy by Sarah O'Leary Burningham ; illustrations by Keri Smith. - San Francisco : Chronicle Books, c2009. - 167 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm.
This humorous guide provides insight into the elusive universe of boys, using questions, answers and quotations from real teens. Nebulous topics like “hooking up” (“by definition, hook-ups don't lead to boyfriends”) and being “just friends” (in one image, a beaming girl is clearly thinking “skateboarding partner” while the boy beside her has a heart in his thought bubble) are addressed with oodles of pop-culture literacy. The plethora of “how to” sections (an illustrated guide to kissing), lists (including mood-setting playlists featuring Avril Lavigne and Sleater-Kinney) and “Extra Credit” quizzes provide an entertaining tour of love and dating etiquette for beginners. More seasoned daters may find the advice formulaic.
