Australian high school senior Beatle (real name: John Lennon. Really.) is superstitious enough that he heads for home early on Friday the 13th--taking the bus, since there's a greater likelihood of an accident on a Friday the 13th. At the bus stop, the day's bad luck turns around: also waiting for the bus is Destiny (last name: McCartney. Really.). The pair decide it's fate and go for ice cream, and from there their relationship blooms. Or would, if not for the detail of Beatle's girlfriend Cilla. Who happens to be best friends with Beatle's twin sister. Destiny has her own problems, related to purloined art materials, a stalker, and Beatle, the guy who seems into her but won't call. 
 Gets a little caught up in its side stories, but the bulk of the story will appeal to fans of quirky-romantic realistic fiction.
