Daisy Crispin is on a mission-to find a date for prom. The problem? She is one of the most unpopular kids in school. Not only does she have the strange habit of spitting out random facts when nervous, she's also not allowed to date, is forced to wear only homemade clothes, and makeup is not permitted because her parents believe that God only cares about what's on the inside. Unfortunately her peers at her school don't see it this way. Despite these challenges, Daisy is determined to leave her mark in her high-school career and win the heart of her crush since kindergarten, Chase Doogle.

In Billerbeck's first novel for teen girls, Perfectly Dateless: A Universally Misunderstood Novel, she takes readers on a humorous journey inside the mind of a teenage girl as she faces challenges and experiences typical when crossing that fine line of girlhood into womanhood. In the end, Billerbeck leaves us with one thought: be careful what you wish for.
