Sixteen year old Molly McGarry thought it was really weird
when she was able to be inside her boyfriend, Gideon
Rayburn's, head. But it turned out to be so helpful to her
relationship with him that she adapted and learned to live
with it. Not only that, she learned how to make it work so
Gid would think she was the only girl in the world for him
because she always seemed to know exactly what he wanted
when he wanted it.
Then one day, Gideon made a fatal mistake and Molly felt she
had no choice but to break up with him. Of course, she
couldn't really tell him WHY she was breaking up with him
since it would require that she confess she knew he had been
thinking about the drop dead beautiful Pilar Benitez-Jones,
their classmate. Things get even worse when confused Gideon
hooks up with Pilar and, suddenly, Molly isn't in Gideon's
head anymore; she's in PILAR'S!
Poor Molly has not only lost her boyfriend AND her best
friend, Edie, but now she's got to walk around in Pilar's
head. Pilar, who thinks about nothing but how beautiful she
is, and how other girls rate so little in comparison with
her. Oh, and she thinks about Gideon a lot, too. In fact,
the only thing that's keeping her from having sex with Gid
is that she's certain her stomach is too fat for him to see
her naked. This is all in her mind but that's ok with Molly
because as long as Pilar believes she's fat, Molly doesn't
have to deal with Gideon and Pilar having sex while she's
still in Pilar's head.
Then, there's the fact that Molly's been asked to join the
Academic Tete-a-Tete, or ATAT. She really doesn't need, or
want, to have her every waking minute taken up with
practicing for this, but she so needs the full college
scholarship that winning will provide her. Also, being on
the team may just be what will help her win her best friend
back.
For anyone that's ever been curious about what it's like to
be a teenager in this day and age, this is the book for you!
Adults as well as young adults will enjoy THE OTHER GIRL.
You may feel like you know what it means to be a teenager as
you were once one yourself, but it's a whole new ballgame
now! Teenagers will love this book because Sarah Miller
truly understands and she doesn't pull any punches. This is
a book for many ages!
Molly McGarry is about to learn that the only thing more
traumatizing than spending six months trapped in the head of
her boyfriend is being stuck inside her ex-boyfriend's new
girlfriend's head, in this follow-up to "Inside the Mind of
Gideon Rayburn."
