Getting the Girl by Susan Juby


Emily's Comments: High school is tough…there is no getting around that, but Harewood Technical High School is a whole other ballpark. Every girl at Harewood Tech fears being D-listed, targeting for some unknown reason and wiped off the social map forever. You do not talk to the defiled. You do not recognize their existence. You simply pray that you do not join the list. Sherman Mack, want-to-be ladies man and budding chef / private investigator, decides to get to the bottom of the mysterious Defilers. But that means annoying the enemy with the power and putting all of his friends at risk. Is it worth it?

Juby has an amazing sense of humor that often catches you off guard and leaves you chuckling for several pages. It’s another coming-of-age high school story, but you can’t help but fall in love with Sherman Mack, the shirmpy freshman with a heart of gold who only wants to help the ladies. If you’re in the mood for a laugh, definitely pick up Getting the Girl: A guide to private investigation, surveillance, and cookery by Susan Juby. Get Status at GPL
