Ed is just a normal teenager, who works at a summer job. He is into movies, and he is stuck with a name tag that is not his, which is "Sergio". Oneday he meets a girl, and then suddenly becomes his alter ego "Sergio".

This book was so funny, and orginal. This is a funny and romance type of book, similar to 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' by Shakespeare. It is told from four different point of views. Ed, Scout, Quark, and Ellie. When reading this, one can't help but to feel part of the characters.


Ed is just like any typical male teenager. He feels that he is short, and that his life is boring. The tone of the story was humorous, and it was balanced with each of the character's narration.

Scout is not just any girl - she plays soccer, and can gulp down a hamburger. You can tell that Scout is not a [or dosen't want to be]"Girly girl", but sometimes she catches herself looking at romance novels, and thinking of Ed. Which in any case, we can indentify with. Well for me, anyhow. Though however, there was a point where I found her some what annoying....I don't why.

Quark is funny too, he is considered the "smart" one, and is into Scout. Everything he sees, is taken into a scientific manner. Which is pretty amusing.

Ellie is a sweet girl, who did have bad luck in love. She likes "Sergio", and we seem to find her writing to herself a would be email message to the guy who broke her heart. I found that to be little annoying, but it was standable.

Maybe somethings were little corny or chessy, but it wasn't something I coudln't handle. It dosen't go to overboard. Overall, this book is fun.
