English Summary/英文概要： Nothing is beyond Kristi Carmichael’s disdain—her hippie high school, her friend Jacob, her workaholic mom. Yet for all her attitude and her mind-reading abilities, Kristi has a vulnerable side. She can hear the thoughts of her fellow students, calling her fat and gross. She’s hot for Gusty Peterson, one of the most popular guys in school, but of course, she’s sure he thinks she is disgusting. And she’s still mad at her father, who walked out on them two years ago. Soon, a school project brings her together with Gusty, her father comes home and drops a bombshell, and a friend comes out of the closet, and suddenly she is left doubting that she can read people at all. Bitingly funny but ultimately poignant and positive, this YA novel is completely on the mark.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 没有什么可以逃得出克里斯蒂•卡麦可的蔑视------她那嬉皮的高中，她的朋友雅各布，她的工作狂妈妈。然而对于她的这种态度以及她拥有的读心的能力，克里斯蒂也有一个弱点。她可以听得到她的同学在暗地里说她又胖又重。她狂热的迷恋着贾思迪•彼特森-----学校里最受欢迎的男生之一，但她确定，贾思迪觉得她很恶心。她同时也对两年前离开她们的父亲感到愤怒。但不久后，学校的一个活动使她和贾思迪开始交往，她的父亲也回到家中，朋友们也都纷纷现身，于是她不再觉得自己可以看透别人的思想。犀利，幽默，尖锐却不失积极的态度，本书完全是一部具有标志性的小说。
