Fly on the Wall was the first book that I have read by E. Lockhart, and it made me want to keep reading. She creates an intricate personae in Gretchen Yee, a girl who feels she is simply normal in a school where individuality matters more than anything else.
Gretchen wishes that she could be a fly on the wall - and it happens.Suddenly she is in the guys' locker room and knows all the intimate details about the guys with whom she has been associating for so long without really knowing them, and that soon becomes clear.
While this book is certainly a quick read, it is one that captures your attention until its conclusion. Lockhart creates a convincing, three-dimensional character who develops. A farfetched story line turns out to be the most fun, and Lockhart does a great job of making such an absurd plot line seem possible. Fly on the Wall is a short read, but certainly one of the best books written recently.I highly recommend it!
