In Your Room is told from the perspectives of two teens whose families have swapped houses for the summer. Molly is from L.A., and is a sweet, shy girl who dreams of being a designer. Charlie is from Boulder, which is perfect for his mountain-biking obession. They get to know each other through emails and instant-messaging, and find that they click really well.
There are obstacles, of course, including Molly's super-hot best friend (who lives across the street), Charlie's jaded ex-girlfriend (who Molly befriends accidentally right off the bat), and the fact that they live in different states.
This is a quick read, and oh so worth it. It is nice to read about teens who have other interests than just landing THE GUY or THE GIRL. There is real emotion here, and the dialogue is true to life, difficult when writing from a teen's POV. This is Fraiberg's first book.
