I Hate Boys I Hate Girls

The book is a hardcover edition with some visible wear on the cover edges. There is a handwritten inscription on the title page dated September 1988. The binding remains intact, and the pages are clean with no significant markings or tears. The absence of a dust jacket suggests it may have been issued without one or it has been lost over time.
