Because Perry wants to get into Columbia, he has pretty much always played by the rules.\u00a0 He understands that he needs to get good grades and that obtaining a recommendation by doing an internship at his father\u2019s law firm is very important.\u00a0 He works his butt off most of the time, but he\u2019s still a teenager and, therefore, wants to do fun things once in a while.\u00a0 That\u2019s why he belongs to a band. \u00a0And even though many teenagers look forward to their senior prom, Perry and his friends have other plans for that night \u2014 they\u2019ve finally lined up a gig at a club in New York City!\u00a0 Unfortunately for Perry, his dad doesn\u2019t care. \u00a0His dad wants him to bring Gobija [the foreign exchange student who has been staying with their family] to prom.<\/p>\n
If Gobija had been the teen movie stereotype \u2014 hot and anxious to date a geeky American boy \u2014 Perry might have been happy about this arrangement. \u00a0Since she was dorky and standoffish, though, Perry was looking forward to the end of her stay and tried his best to weasel his way out of this date.\u00a0 It was rather obvious that things went a bit differently than expected since the book opened with Perry saying, \u201cYou shot me!\u201d \u00a0The bad news is that, after the initial teaser, I had to go back to the beginning of the story to find out how the heck he got shot.\u00a0 The good news is that the story moved so quickly that I got back to the wild ride before too long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
