Publisher Description
Molly McGarry is about to learn that the only thing more traumatizing than spending six months trapped in your boyfriend's head is being stuck inside your ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend's head. After Molly dumps Gideon because she thinks he's lusting after some one else, a game of spin the bottle leads to a kiss between Gideon and the beautiful, sexy Pilar Benitez-Jones. Somehow, the kiss knocks Molly out of Gideon's head—and right into Pilar's. Now she's desperate to get Gid back. She uses all her "superpower" to try to come between Pilar and Gid, but instead of breaking them up, she seems to be bringing them closer together. Can she stand to be at school with Gid and at the same time be inside the mind of the girl he moved on with? How does Molly win back Gid without letting him know what's going on? And how on earth is she ever going to get out of Pilar's head...?
Sarah Miller's The Other Girl is the next installment in the Midvale Academy young adult series, beginning with Inside the Mind of Inside the Mind of Gideon Rayburn.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Miller picks up where she left off with Inside the Mind of Gideon Rayburn, as Molly continues to be able to see the world and hear the thoughts of Gideon, her boyfriend at Midvale Prep boarding school. This allows her to know how to keep him happy (like which underwear to don when he sneaks into her room). But there are disadvantages, too, and when he conjures up a sexy image of school hottie Pilar at an inopportune moment, Molly decides she must break up with him. But then she finds herself in someone else's head: Pilar's. Readers will again find Molly's Midvale world full of bawdy talk, pot smoking, and naughty pranks, but they will appreciate the smart insights, too. As Pilar and Gideon start a relationship and Molly bounces from her head to his she learns that being the girl every boy dreams of has some serious disadvantages, and that she needs to stop trying to "make myself into whatever Gid was going to like." Some plotting is a bit farfetched, but mostly this is fun fare and deeper than a typical prep school series. Ages 14 17.
