The first-person POV is charming, engaging and solid: Gretchen Yee's character is believable and likable from the start. E. Lockhart stays focused on Gretchen's transformations from "ordinary" school girl to locker-room fly to self-confident and conscientious young woman. The references to Kafka add to the literary quality. Sure, you could question the believability of Gretchen's week as an insect, but why? It's terribly fun voyeurism and exceptionally revealing (no pun intended) for the character's development. One of my new favorite books for present-tense, first-person, real-world storytelling with a touch of magic.
