Description

***When Rowena's handsome English teacher invites her to a poetry reading, the shy high school girl changes overnight from a wallflower to an attractive, much-sought-after femme fatale.*** **GoodRead user reviews: Stephanie A. Ap 07, 2018 4 of 5 stars really liked it **Review of SAME STORY IN another ed. "She's a real Bonnie Sue Detweiler!"** This book could go in a time capsule of 1980s teen books. **Or maybe just early 80s teen culture in general?** I don't know, I wasn't around then, but this book starts with a girl obsessively worried about her lack of sexual experience, as defined by a magazine in four easy categories of awkward driving metaphors (I assume to correspond with the outdated term of "being fast"): haven't left the garage, crawling along/probably lost and looking for a signpost, cruising along at a pretty good speed, or "out of control and heading for a crack-up." She's barely 15, but somehow, not scoring in the third or fourth category is mortifying to her. How awful!! Not like cool Bonnie Sue Detweiler!! .... **REMAINDER OF THIS REVIEW AT:** https://openlibrary.org/books/OL4114181M/Me_and_my_Mona_Lisa_smile/edit **Gina Dec 05, 2017 3 of 5 stars-liked it. Review of SAME STORY IN another edition** A typical book about a high school girl with a crush on a teacher. The book does end happily. The reason I gave it this rating was because I wish there would've been a bit more detail at the ending. Rowena did come in to her own sort of. Maybe there are other books written about her, I'm not all that sure.

Description

Every girl in school seems more popular than R. She's cute and funny but every time there's a boy in sight she freezes up and all her wit deserts her. Until a rumor start going around school that Ro is secretly seeing the handsome new English teacher--and suddenly everything changes. Boys look at her differently, and she's traveling with a new crown. Overnight she's a new person--and that's when the fun and trouble begin. A funny, touching story of today.
