Miss Understanding: My Summer on the Shelf

After a stint as the school agony aunt, Anya's forthcoming summer as an intern at a London publishing house comes as a breath of fresh air. It'll take her mind off Al—her AWOL boyfriend—at least, and maybe she'll get tips on how to be a writer, too. But it's clear that Anya's role is senior dogsbody—and involves reading terrible stories, listening to her colleague Katie's domestic woes, and taking on a nightmarish teenage author, who is about five years late delivering his next "best selling novel." It's not quite the gltiz and glamour Miss Understanding thought it would be, but it does have its plus points: Delicious Seth Hodges being one of them. Anya finds herself torn between the handsome Seth, the notorious waste of time The Boy, her lost boyfriend Al, not to mention the intriguing teenage writer Casper. This is another fresh, original, and witty journey through Miss Understanding's life.
