When high school junior Natalie - or Dr. Aphrodite, as she calls herself when writing the relationship column for her school paper - is accused of knowing nothing about guys and giving girls bad relationship advice, she decides to investigate what guys really think and want. But the guys in her class won't give her straight or serious answers. The only solution? Disguising herself as a guy and spending a week at Underwood Academy, the private all-boy boarding school in town. There she learns a lot about guys and girls in ways she never expected - especially when she falls for her dreamy roommate, Emilio. How can she show him she likes him without blowing her cover?

My Review 
Hilarious! I could not put this down! Every page I turned I was laughing out loud! On top of the comedy their was a great message about being yourself! This is the first book that I have read by Jody German. It will certainly not be the last. She has a talent for creating great characters, and a funny, but interesting plot. I will most likely be picking up one of her books to read. I love the cover of this book! The mustache is hilarious! The models eyes are gorgeous. I love the Theater type font that was used. I thought it was a nice touch.

Natalie was a great main character. She was brave enough to go undercover for the sake of Dr. Aphrodite. She was witty and easy to like. I thought she did a great job going undercover. Her friends where funny, and they made the book that much better. While she's undercover she meets plenty of prep boys, some good and some bad. Emilio.... was HOT! I instantly liked his character. I always fall for the deep, brooding types...

This was a very cute and funny read. At first I thought this was going to be just like 'She's the Man' movie. And in some cases it was, but at the same time it had a lot more going on and was very interesting. I love Jody's writing style. I can't wait to read more from her! Pick up this book if you see it! You won't be disappointed. It was a great read.


Key Points
