When I started reading this book my impression was that it was way too detailed, too redundant in its storytelling and too pristine. But I found myself going back as quickly as possible to finish it. It was fun to read, more so for the younger teen (not too young though as there are details about sexuality) and was good entertainment.The writing is easy enough and is mostly conversational. The two main characters, who get mentally switched and end up in the other person's body (male to female and female to male) and have to negotiate not only the details needed to be the other person within their classes, families and friends, but also to portray the opposite sex, including make-up, hairstyles, fashion, locker rooms. etc.It was amazing to me to read from the female perspective as written by a male author.It is very idealistic and the kids are sweet and studious. A fun read, maybe not as realistic as teen life is these days though. This was a gifted copy.
