Book Review By alyssa akers
Inside the Mind of Gideon Rayburn by Sarah Miller

   Have you ever wondered what guys think? In this book a nameless girl gets inside Gideon Rayburn's thoughts. The narator of the story is this girl who we never find out the name of until the end of the story. The only thing readers know is that she's one of the beautiful girls at the Connecticut prep school, Midvale Academy, Gideon goes to. Gideon is new there and wants to fit in. His roommates Cullen and Nicholas are popular, handsome, and wealthy. They help Gideon by pointing out the hottest girls in school.
   Cullen and Nicholas realize that Gideon lacks in his coolness factor. They decide to help him out by making a bet with Gideon. They bet him to have sex with a girl of their choice by Halloween. The girl they pick is Molly McGarry. She is smart and pretty but not Gideon's first choice. Gideon sets his sights on a beautiful girl named Pilar Benitez- Jones. However a bets a bet, Gideon is excited because he is a virgin.
    The book is nice because it tells what guys are really thinking. Readers will find that Gid is a truly nice guy, a kind of guy most girls want. He's sensitive and funny. He just worries about being popular and fitting in. The book has a lot of pot smorking, drinking, and sneaking out at night.
