Fourteen – year – old Carolyn Samuels is sick and tired of being bullied. At the same time, she’d give anything to be like her bully, Jennifer Taylor. Why? Jennifer is everything that Carolyn isn’t. She’s popular, pretty, wears the latest fashions and is thin. Boy’s flock around Jennifer. She’s actually been out on a real date!
Middle school ends and high school begins. Carolyn is sure this year is going to be just as miserable as last year. She’s sure that this will be another lousy year with Jennifer constantly laughing and harassing Carolyn about her breathing problem. Carolyn’s fears are confirmed when she’s partnered with Jennifer by the math teacher to do a project. Or are they?
Working together starts out like Carolyn expects. Jennifer is just as snotty to her as she was in middle school. Suddenly, Jennifer is giving her clothes, taking her home, inviting her to dinner. What’s going on?
I loved this book. Not only did it bring back many memories for myself but it shows that some bullies (I don’t imagine all) have deep problems of their own. The author, Barbara Ehrentreu, did an excellent job of showing this. She painted an excellent portrait of a poor little rich girl who’s own parents don’t know her at all. Believe me, the previous sentence isn’t a spoiler at all. You have to read the book to find out what’s going on!
