Synopsis
Beautiful, wild, funny, and lost, Katie Kampenfelt is taking a year off before college to find her passion. Ambitious in her own way, Katie intends to do more than just smoke weed with her boyfriend, Rory, and work at the bookstore. She plans to seduce Dan, a thirty-two-year-old film professor. Katie chronicles her adventures in an anonymous blog, telling strangers her innermost desires, shames, and thrills. But when Dan stops taking her calls, when her alcoholic father suffers a terrible fall, and when she finds herself drawn into a dangerous new relationship, Katie's fearless narrative begins to crack, and dark pieces of her past emerge. Sexually frank, often heartbreaking, and bursting with devilish humor, Undiscovered Gyrl is an extraordinarily accomplished novel of identity, voyeurism, and deceit. "Imagine an 18-year-old Lolita, updated for the 21st century, blogging her own provocative adventures. By turns charming and crude, disturbingly reckless and achingly tender, Undiscovered Gyrl seduces you into her downy arms, locks her long legs around your waist, and doesn't let go." -- Rachel Resnick, author of Love Junkie, An extraordinarily accomplished novel of a young woman trying to control the complicated world around her. Sexually frank, mesmerizing and bursting with devlish humour., Beautiful, outspoken, funny and wild, Katie Kampenfelt is as reckless as she is intelligent. Taking a year off before college, she intends to do more than smoke weed with her boyfriend, Rory, and work at the bookshop. She plans to discover her passion and seduce Dan, the 32-year-old professor she watches movies with. She confesses the details of her life online, changing her name to avoid recognition, responding to readers replies with bristley insults. But when Dan ignores her and her father falls ill, her bravado cracks and dark pieces of her past emerge.
