This young adult romance follows a teenage bookworm who transfers to her local public high school — and soon discovers that the literary classics she lives by aren't quite a match for real life, our critic says.

The girls are absolutely enchanted by Mary. She's terribly wise in the ways of relationships, yet new to the halls of MHS, so they vow to give her a"season," launching her into the average high school experience like a debutante on the marriage mart. Meanwhile, they watch scenes of daily teenage life and relationships play out around them and listen as Mary draws not-quite-exact parallels to complex male characters in classic novels.

She's bold enough to ask Alex for romantic advice, but still too oblivious to realize his actual feelings for her. The more time Mary spends with him, the better we all get to know Alex as a person, without the shade of Vronsky hanging over his head. In real life, Alex is a just a normal human boy with normal human frailties, sisters of his own, and a massive crush. Alex and Mary slowly grow closer, in secret.
