Publisher Description

At the Manhattan High School for the Arts, where everyone is “different” and everyone is “special,” Gretchen Yee feels ordinary. She’s the kind of girl who sits alone at lunch, drawing pictures of Spider-Man, so that she won’t have to talk to anyone; who has a crush on Titus but won’t do anything about it; who has no one to hang out with when her best (and only real) friend, Katya, is busy. One day, Gretchen wishes that she could be a fly on the wall in the boys’ locker room–just to learn more about guys. What are they really like? What do they really talk about? Are they really cretins most of the time? Fly on the Wall is the story of how that wish comes true.

"This book was another E. Lockhart success; a teenage drama filled story with a twist. Gretchen is a character many teenage girls can relate to, and throughout her hilarious story, she goes behind the scenes to investigate the biggest mystery girls are faced with: the opposite gender. The tale is twisted, however, when Gretchen is literally a fly on the wall in the boys lives. This book is easy to relate to, funny and enjoyable, and cleverly written and worded. Great for a change of pace from the YA books that today are riddled with vampires and fitting in; this book simply stands out."

    " The first thing I ever read by E. Lockhart. Who knew that just a year later she'd become one of my favorite authors? Anyway, I thought this book was okay, but I noticed some stylistic things that I'd also noticed in a short story of hers that I read in an anthology. (Could that sentence be any more crowded?) So at first I said to myself, "E. Lockhart? Meh." If only I could go back in time and warn myself. "

    " My book Fly On the Wall is a great book for teens. It shows how teens act. In this book the teens is not like teens in other books there are like teens in real life. I would tell anyone to read this book. "

    " I actually listened to the audio version of this, and it was OK, aside from long periods of fixation on male anatomies. "

    " Very, very quick read. Not alot of in-depth analysis of anything other than a 16 girl realizing that boys aren't alien beings and that some of them even have complicated feelings. She learns that she really isn't all that different from other teenagers. "

    " The plot wasn't interesting and the ending was happier than most of the E. Lockhart's endings. I just thought the storyline was easily predictable and it didn't really leave me interested in what would happen next. "

    " This book was just ok. I couldn't really get into it. But on the other hand if you can wait to be patient you'd like this chick lit. "

    " This is OK, with some nice moments that usually come from discussions about art - the protagonist is in some hip young New York high school for the arts. 2.5 stars. I would have expected even better from the fabulous E. Lockhart, but this is a decent enough read. "

    " This book was extremely creative. Even if it was a bit uncomfortably-graphic in some chapters. I thought every description was done neatly, and I really enjoyed reading it. The only regret I have was, reading it so quick and not savoring it more! "

    " main character spends a week (?) as a fly in the boy's locker room - gets an eye-full and is more at ease around boysa thin book so it didn't spend too much time on the topic - decent but not revelatory "

    " This story was more of an essay or excercise than a full book, though most of my disappointment probably stems from how much I enjoy E. Lockhart's characters. At the end I wanted more Gretchen. "
