Rated 8/10
At the Manhattan High School for the Arts, where everyone is "different" and everyone is "special," Gretchen Yee feels ordinary. She's the kind of girl who sits alone at lunch, drawing pictures of Spider-Man, so that she won't have to talk to anyone; who has a crush on Titus but won't do anything about it; who has no one to hang out with when her best (and only real) friend, Katya, is busy. One day, Gretchen wishes that she could be a fly on the wall in the boys' locker room just to learn more about guys. What are they really like? What do they really talk about? Are they really cretins most of the time'Fly on the Wall is the story of how that wish comes true.
MY REVIEW
I like this book, there were a lot of times I wished the same thing, to be a fly on the wall, maybe not in the boys locker room at school but other places lol. Gretchen Yee has never really had a boyfriend, sure she has fooled around with Shane but she has never been in a relationship with a guy and doesn't really understand them. She goes to an art school, loves Spiderman and drawing him, and has a huge crush on Titus. One day she wishes she was a fly on the wall in the boys locker rooms, the next day she wakes up to find her wish has come true and she's a fly in the boys locker room. She finds out more about boys then she ever knew about their bodies and personalities. She learns new things about Titus she never knew and learns to go after what she wants. Of course this is geared at teenage girls so the character is a little immature but she learns her lesson and I think that's what life should really be about, learning from experience.
