This book is rather hard to it has a net-beat slang that is hard to understand at first. It hits on a lot of heavy topics like depression and drug abuse. It has a lot of real life situations that are going on in the world and maybe even in your classroom.

As the narrative on the book jacket says, what do you do when miss ancient history comes back into your life? That's what Lu has to figure out because Miss Ancient History is going out with a guy, regardless of how low-life he is. Yet, Lu can't get Eve out of her mind. Meanwhile, she finds out her grandmother has given up on life and is dying. And Lu doesn't get along with her older sister. What's a girl to do.

the book jacket also calls the language 'neo-beat slang' and it does take a lot of getting used to. (And to tell the truth, some of it I didn't understand.) But that aside, The Pursuit of Miss Heartbreak Hotel is a good read so go for it. ( )
