Blue Monday Vol. 2: Absolute Beginners by Chynna Clugston Flores
1.0
I don't know how this book has such high reviews.
It definitely has some creepy vibes. The main character gets filmed taking a bath by some classmates who then spread the news around school and ruin her reputation. The teachers do nothing except ponder how innocent or slutty she is. They don't even spare a thought for the boys or for their creepy voyeuristic tactics. Keep in mind that the boys are supposed to be her friends, and one of them then proceeds to ASK HER OUT!!!!!!! She agrees to go with him to get the tape, but ALL of her girl friends tease her about how she secretly likes the boy. The date goes badly, partly because of a Pooka, and then the boy gives her a copy of the tape and puts the real one on the local access tv.
All of this is treated as just boys having their harmless fun. It's not really funny when you consider where that kind of peeping often leads.
