YA
Natalie's the relationship columnist for the school paper (pen name "Dr. Aphrodite"). In an attempt to improve her guy-advice, she takes on another clandestine identity: Nat at all-male Underwood Academy. Her infiltration is a success (at first), even though she falls for roommate Emilio. The plot stretches credulity, but girls curious about the male psyche may be entertained by the supposed insider-look element, however improbable.
