- Summary:
- "Una chica sentada en un banco. El día despunta y los estragos de la fiesta de ayer aún se palpan en el ambiente. El tránsito de los que van a trabajar se mezcla con el de los que vuelven a casa arrastrando la borrachera bajo los portales. De camino hacia la parada del autobús, Tallie se detiene de golpe en el bulevar. Le ha parecido reconocer a su amiga Miriam sentada en el banco con el pelo revuelto y la cara desfigurada por ríos de rímel. Solo unos días antes, los jóvenes apuraban las vacaciones en la piscina, felices y despreocupados. Y, aunque le cueste reconocerlo, Miriam sigue colgada de Jordan, pero la frustración de haber sido siempre la chica invisible, y más ahora que a él le gusta Paola, lo va a complicar todo mucho. Mira a esa chica es la historia de Miriam, de su grupo de amigos y de cómo, a veces, durante la adolescencia podemos encontrarnos con situaciones para las que nadie nos prepara. Porque... ¿se puede preparar a alguien para lo peor?" -- Contraportada.
- "A girl sitting on a bench. The day dawns and the ravages of yesterday's party are still palpable in the atmosphere. The traffic of those who go to work mixes with that of those who return home dragging their drunkenness under the doorways. On her way to the bus stop, Tallie stops on the boulevard. She seemed to recognize her friend Miriam sitting on the bench with her hair tousled and her face disfigured by rivers of mascara. Just a few days before, the young people rushed the holidays in the pool, happy and carefree. And, although she finds it hard to admit it, Miriam is still hung up on Jordan, but the frustration of having always been the invisible girl, and even more so now that he likes Paola, is going to complicate everything a lot. Look at that girl is the story of Miriam, her group of friends and how, sometimes, during adolescence we can find ourselves in situations for which no one prepares us. Because... can you prepare someone for the worst?" -- Backcover.
