The summer of her junior year, Texas geek girl Elva Presley Hicks lands a job as a plumber’s helper in Houston, Texas. She earns $$$$, but is as lonely as heck.
It's not like there aren't any suitors. Elva could choose Chase, the obese pig farmer, or Wyatt, the plumber with wandering hands, but she yearns for something more and finds it with electrician, Mitch McCall.
It's a cosmic connection. Mitch isn't turned off by Elva's name or fan fiction writing, and Elva doesn't lose interest in him after he cuts off his nose.
Trials and triumphs follow Elva, including a friendship implosion, world-wide fanfic humiliation, and goat salvation.
This summer is destined to be Elva's most memorable. Join her!
(This book was previously e-published under the name Molly Blaisdell. It was also a 2011 semi-finalist for the Breakthrough Novel Contest.)

this was wonderful. Loved the humour and the look back. I loved that the characters were flawed. The growing the characters do in that summer is great to see. Elva learns to that everyone is flawed and beautiful at the same time. She also begins to see who she is and what she wants. It was sad how her and Mitch drifted away.the book is a flashback of a summer that was important in Elva and her friends lives. The summer everything changed and they grew up. This is done as she is going to her reunion. Each girl goes through their own transformation and growing. One rebels and learns the hard way about friendship and loyalty, another to gain freedom flees into the first person who shows her kindness and love that doesn't come with strings and with this she lashes out when someone who cares about her points it out and the third gains self esteem, learns who she is and what she wants and finds that truth is best when it comes from those who care. She has first love and heartache, acceptance and joy but also learns she can stand on her own and be proud of who she is and what she does.
We see compassion and humour throughout the book. We also see how no matter what and no matter how these three act out at each other they are always there for each other. The summer before their senior year transformed them and had them become adults in ways beyond what they thought.
Once at the reunion Elva is brought to realize that sometimes love has no expiration date and will be waiting for you for when you are ready and open to it again. All you have to do is accept it and allow it in.
the characters are unique and funny. Each one you will love and with the humour that is placed throughout the book you will fall for even the dorkiest moments.
a truly wonderful funny book that has romance and growth but shows us that love is enduring and so is friendship.

Plumb Crazy edition by Cece Barlow Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Elva Presley Hicks is a character I won't soon forget! The author sets us smack in the middle of Elva's life - a motherless child, living with her granparents in a small, dusty, hopeless town in Texas. She pines for small pants, a smokin' hot boyfriend, fame and fortune as a writer of Trekkie fanfiction that will be dog earred by millions. Or, at the very least, a summer job. Viola! Careful what you wish for Elva - now a plumber girl. Love the rich language, imagery and the pace that clips right along.
This book crackles with humor and snappy dialogue, and the setting pops with authenticity. While Elva is don't-mess-with-me snarky, she has a kind of nobility about her that makes you want to spend time with her. She takes on more than her share of responsibility for her grandma, goats and girlfriends, and you just want good things to happen for her--like a job with a big, fat paycheck. Will Elva's Trekkie fiction take her to the stars? Will she find her "smokin' hot boyfriend?" I do hope so.
I'm hooked. Elva is a quirky, sassy character who is going someplace, and I'm along for the ride. Ms. Blaisdell has done a great job of creating a character girls will love because all girls are not size 4 with cell phones paid for by their parents with unlimited texting. In fact, I suspect that girl is rare in real life. I'm wondering how Elva will do as a plumber's helper and will she learn enough to pursue it as a career until her writing takes off?
Although this book has a romance, it's just as much a story of friendship, and one crazy high school summer. Elva is poor – realistically, small-town Texas poor. She dreams of a better future, which she hopes to achieve through her Star Trek fan fiction. But a job as a plumber's helper turns out to be the key to changing her life. If you enjoy realistic, imperfect but trying-so-hard characters, and a lot of laughs with your angst, this book delivers.
I was supposed to be doing homework and chores and other stuff that sucks, but decided to read this book instead. You never know what you're going to get when you buy a random book off but this one is truly unique. This is one of those books that you read in one sitting and laugh your a** off the entire time. I'm glad I took a chance on it. =)
Such a fun YA summer read! Thoroughly enjoyed the characters, who were silently, yet solidly developed. None of the unrealistic ''mean girls'' rhetoric about high school kids. Only touched based on being 'not as popular' and totally hammered in the story line of young people who have to actually work for a living. I loved the side story of Elva's fan fic and how it seemed to pick up on a parallel to the characters of the story. Very well thought out and written! I literally laughed out loud in several parts. Just enough of the "romance" to keep you hooked, but not too much to make you say "Oh come on!" - and that's ALWAYS important to me since I don't typically read romance. This is PERFECT for your teens for their summer reading, or for a pool read. Kudos Molly!
I rarely give 5 stars because there is always something wanting, but Plumb Crazy left me completely satisfied, like a cat who snuck into the cream. Elva Presley doesn't feel like a character in a book, but like a real girl whom I could sit and watch the Wrath of Khan with as we devour junk food and then later take apart the plot. She works hard, dreams big, and has the ability to laugh at herself. I laughed my way through this book and can't wait for more novels from this author.
