It begins with a look: but when Jackie actually meets the boy from the bus stop it's not so simple. Is Kev interested in her or not?
There is no shortage of advice from her friends - 'agony aunt' Deirdre, and hypochondriac Ruth, who says love is just an illness anyway.
Romance isn't the only challenge for Jackie. At home there are money problems and her young brother's brush with the law. Why is life so easy in films and so complicated in real life, she wonders. And is there any hope for herself and Kev?
