Christy is thrilled to win a scholarship to Washington DC and escape her friendless, bookworm existence.  But when her travel group is witness to a murder, Christy gets more excitement than she bargained for; the FBI watching over her & strangers tracking her every move, all while trying to decide which boy she truly likes.

I'd like to think that if a smart girl just straightened her hair & put on makeup, boys would realize how beautiful she is, but I just can't buy into it.  The other girls are typical stereotypes - a kind roommate, a jealous boy crazy snip, and a witchy, gossipy pain in the rear.  The guys aren't much better. 

The worst of it is that it was truly like reading the mind of a 15 year old girl - and I mean reading every single thought.  Ugh.  Way too much fretting, puzzling, and obsessing.  The book should have been WAY shorter.  Plus, I don't like stories that cop out at the end just because the author wants to sell a sequel.

So many other people loved this book, I was wondering if I read the same novel!
