Summary
Add a SummaryJill McTeague is your average smart senior trying to get her dream date to ask her to the prom. Of cource,those monthly blood transfusions aren't exactly average-but it's not like she's got anything fatal. What no one knows, except for Jill's parents-who live in constant fear of the secret getting out-is that for the four days Jill is out of school each month, she's not having blood transfusions. In fact, she's not even Jill on those days. For four days of every monthly cycle, Jill becomes Jack, a boy-complete with all the parts-and Jack has to live out his days as a prisoner in Jill's bedroom. But Jack's personality has been gaining strenght over the years since the cycling began. He is growing more rebellious and less content with his confinment, while at the same time his cycles are becoming more frequent. Now Jill's question about the prom isn't simply who will she go with, but who will she be when the big night arrives?
Quotes
Add a QuoteI'm not supposed to wake up in the middle of things. All of this is supposed to happen while I sleep. I shove my hand underneath the sheets, praying, and hoping the transformation is nearly complete, but when I reach lower, there it is- limp, smooth and insistent. Jack.

Add a Commentvery unique book, interesting sides to both personas indeed, but its sad that it was so short.
This was a very interesting book to read. The concept of becoming a male for four days a month is extremely strange; however there is no denying it makes for a comedic story.
I really liked this book!!! It's HILARIOUS! I couldn't stop reading it! I love diferent points of view, in this case it's Jack's and Jill's. It's even funnier since they're technically the same person.
