Fifteen-year-old Fiona Delmar buys a new fish each time a boyfriend, or crush disappoints her.  Fiona has a busy life in between running track, practicing for her lead role in a production of Grease, worrying about her sister's departure for college and her parent's marriage, and trying to interpret the actions of her new crush.  This book will not have much appeal with older teens looking for books along the line of Gossip Girls, or the like, however, I can see this book having appeal among the middle school set and girls looking for a clean, light-hearted story.  Each chapter tells the story (in no particular chronological order) of how each fish joined the tank and jumps between past and present.  Some of Fiona's "crushes" will seem silly to readers who may expect more of a relationship to occur before a fish is warranted.  Good for libraries who want clean, light-hearted, sweet romances to accompany racier titles on the shelves.
