This was an interesting novel about boarding school--a bit more modern than some of the other boarding school classics, because the school in this book is co-ed. Capturing a character's four year career at a boarding school is an ambitious feat for a novelist, and Sittenfeld did a good job of including only meaningful details in this work. The protagonist's issues as a basic good kid on the margin of a school's social scene will strike a chord with many readers.
