Description:"Alex is the articulate, first-person narrator of the tale; readers experience her obsession and emotional deconstruction from the inside...[Levine's] deep understanding of “grooming” behavior...helps her to create a character that jumps off the page." -KirkusAlexandra Geller is a bright, underachieving fourteen-year-old coming of age in the big hair 1980's. Alex is from an accomplished, well-educated family. The sudden death of her mother five years ago, and her relationship with her well-meaning but emotionally unavailable father, leaves her unmoored and vulnerable as she tries to figure out who she is. Early in her freshman year, she's befriended by Paula Hanover, a young, attractive science teacher at her high school. Paula's irreverence and charm attracts the attention of the girls, who look up to her, and the boys, who have crushes on her. Alex is thrilled to be chosen by this woman and relishes the feeling of finally "belonging" to a mother figure. Paula's intentions aren't so benevolent, as she slowly and carefully draws Alex into a relationship designed to meet her own needs, not Alex's.
