In the middle right now like it so far.

Curtis Sittenfeld's poignant and occassionally angst-ridden debut novel Prep is the story of Lee Fiora, a South Bend, Indiana, teenager who wins a scholarship to the prestigious Ault school, an East Coast institution where "money was everywhere on campus, but it was usually invisible." As we follow Lee through boarding school, we witness firsthand the triumphs and tragedies that shape our heroine's coming-of-age. Yet while Sittenfeld may be a skilled storyteller, her real gift lies in her ability to expertly give voice to what is often described as the most alienating period in a young person's life: high school.

Have you ever finished a book, closed it and thought about how wasted your time feels? That is what I did with this book. I kept thinking it would get better. Amazon.com mentions a review that says something along the lines of when you feel like giving up on it you get reeled back in, I never got reeled back in but I feel bad when I dont finish a book. I had it as PC, but will be happy to set as avail and possibly put on relay.
