Like, um yeah.......n stuff

I was on the train the other day and I was distracted from my book by a conversation between to uniform clad school kids. It started out with the girl asking the boy if he 'said anything about it to him'. His response went something like this "Yeah, like, I said,'you know that blond girl from the bus stop, yeah well, she likes you' and like he just, like kind of didn't say anything."

Later, I heard her talking about a book she had read. I like books, so I tuned my radar ears in again to see if I could find out what book it was and if it sounded like a worthwhile pursuit. The plot went something like this:

"It's like, set in the war, or something like that. And, like there's this guy and he's like, fighting in the war, no, um, yeah, oh, I dunno. And like, theres this like, girl and she's like....yeah. And like, they like meet and they like fall in love and stuff and then this thing happens that's like, um, yeah, aha! I dunno."

So if anyone can identify this book by the eloquent plot summary given by this articulate young scholar, please let me know, I'd be like, um SOOOO keen to, like read it!
