Lizzie Richards knows it isn't right to eavesdrop, but is it really eavesdropping if her neighbor Maura makes all of her phone calls on her parents' pool deck in easy earshot of Lizzie's backyard? And of course it's wrong to go snooping around on someone else's computer, but is it Lizzie's fault that Maura keeps her computer turned on (and logged in to Facebook) all the time? Lizzie's father has moved the family around every few years to advance his career, so she has never had a chance to develop the kind of "BFF" relationships she thinks most kids have. She's bracing herself for another lonely year at her third high school when Maura gets sick of watching her little brother when she could be partying. Thanks to Maura's plotting, Lizzie becomes everyone's new favorite babysitter, and seeing her opportunity, Lizzie breaks her strict parents' rules and uses Maura's computer to create a secret Email address and Facebook account. She is quickly friended by Missy, a fellow transfer student as eager for a friend as she is. Things are looking up for Lizzie until Maura's ex-boyfriend Paul sets his eye on Missy. Caught between her new best friend and the neighbor whose friendship promises instant popularity, Lizzie doesn't know what to do-because she's fallen for Paul, too.
