Love Sick follows the story of Ted, a former teenage alcoholic, as he spies on a girl, Erica, at their college for her father.

After a drunk driving collision his senior year, Ted is left with a busted knee and no college scholarship.

Erica's opening scene is when she steals mini donuts from a grocery store and eats them at her house.

Understanding the Yahoo Chess chats with her therapist allows the reader to know that her conversations are confined and her father cannot know about them, but this is the very reason for Ted needing to spy on her.

Ted attends local AA meetings, and Erika talks with her therapist over Yahoo Chess.

Erica gets angry and leaves for the city, contacting Doctor Rudas and asking to go into rehab to deal with her problem of bulimia.

Though the dramatic influences and struggles and scenes, it is at a typical late middle schooler's reading level though recommended for high school students so that they may wholly understand it.
