story of a girl

I started reading a book called Story of a Girl by Sara Zarr. It's about this teenage girl named Deanna Lambert and she has this really bad reputation at school for being the "school slut". So far it tells how she became that by hooking up with a senior during her freshmen year. That was all she did, but to the other kids, to them that's all you really need to be called that. In the book, it seems like everyone is underestimating her a lot when she actually is very smart. She describes how her relationship changed with her father because of that. See, her father was the one who caught them in Tommy's car and ever since then they've been distint and it seems to Deanna that he seems to be disgusted with her. The only true friend she has would be Jason, which sticks up for her when the other kids make fun of her. It's now summer and she wants to get a job but the only one that takes her in is a pizza place called Picasso's Pizza and when she accepts the job, she finds out that Tommy works there. He doesn't seem to have a problem about that but she definitely does. I really like this book so far because it's interesting and it's different from the other books i'm reading too. I hope that Deanna and her father can work things out but i guess we'll have to see!
