Claire (ClaireRBear) has been crushing on JD forever, although he doesn't know she exists. When JD(TopofGame17) starts following Claire on Twitter, she's really happy, but also confused, since in person he acts totally different.

Fly on the Wall: how one girl saw everything

When her parents go out of town for a week, Gretchen Yee wakes up as a fly on the wall, trapped in the boys locker room of her school. At first she is just freaked out at her metamorphosis, and then she gets mad at how much better the boys locker room is than the girls. And once the guys arrive on Monday morning to change and shower for gym class...! Obviously this book has a quirky premise modeled on Kafka's story, but E. Lockhart's writing will quickly draw you into the story and the insights that Gretchen has as a fly on the wall of the boys locker room are quite revealing.
