Neglected by self-absorbed parents who wind up divorcing by the time she's sixteen, Carly Klein is sustained by her best friend, Lauren. But when Lauren and her family move away, Carly is forced to find new ways to entertain herself. It doesn't take her long to locate the perfect subject: her therapist mother's patients.
Carly soon becomes obsessed with one patient in particular -- Daniel, a blind junior at Columbia College -- and, desperate to become part of his life and knowing he'll never go for a high school girl, gets close to him by pretending to be a student at neighboring Barnard College. Becoming Carly Klein follows Carly on a roller coaster romp through the exhilaration and disappointment of first love -- and the unintended consequences of disguise, deception, and discovery.
