They’re rules: to not meet in person, call each other, or follow each other on social media. They learn the mistake quickly and hit it off, writing to each other for seven years back and forth. Here it was Ryen and Misha became penpals due to their teachers thinking that Ryen was a boy and Misha was a girl. I haven’t read a book that had the characters as penpals first. Storyline/My Thoughts: First, I loved this book has Ryen and Misha penpals. I needed a YA/High School Bully Romance, and I knew Penelope Douglas’s would deliver. I purchased Punk 57 a while ago and was going through my kindle looking for a book to read and decided it was time to read it. Why did it take me this long to read Punk 57? I have no idea, but I’m kicking myself in the behind for waiting so long. Or right under my nose, and I wouldn’t even know it. I should've gotten his number or picture or something. Did he die? Get arrested? Knowing Misha, neither would be a stretch. Name’s Ryen, loves Gallo’s pizza, and worships her iPhone. Until I run across a photo of a girl online. No social media, no phone numbers, no pictures. She’s the only one who keeps me on track, talks me down, and accepts everything I am. Sometimes there’s one a week or three in a day, but I need them. Her letters are always on black paper with silver writing. Whether or not Eminem is the greatest rapper ever…Īnd that was the start. And in no time at all, we were arguing about everything. It didn’t take long for us to figure out the mistake. My teacher, believing Ryen was a boy like me, agreed. Thinking I was a girl, with a name like Misha, the other teacher paired me up with her student, Ryen. In fifth grade, my teacher set us up with pen pals from a different school.

I can’t help but smile at the words in her letter. Genres: Mature High School/Young Adult Romance
