The Disreputable History of Franki Landau-Banks by E. Lockhart.

Here is a book that starts off with an apology from our heroine. Why is she apologizing and what for? Frankie attends a prepratory high school in upstate New York and is beginning her sophomore year. Seems pretty normal doesn't it, but along the way Frankie encounters what can only be called the "Good Old Boy System" and it is how she views it, deals with, and maybe wants to change it that make up this wonderful story. Along the way she falls in love with the "cutest, best" senior, Matthew Livingston, but he really doesn't see Frankie the way she wants to be seen. Part of this story has to do with how we perceive each other, ourselves, and the world around us. So to find out more, you will have to pick up this book and read it.
