Mafia Girl
Description
What's in a name? Everything... if you have my name. At her exclusive Manhattan high school, half the guys lust after seventeen-year-old Gia. The other half are afraid to even walk near her. After all, everyone knows who she is. They know that her father doesn't have a boss. He is the boss--the capo di tutti, boss of all bosses. But they don't know the real Gia. She's dreaming of a different life--one where she can be more than her infamous name. And lately, she's thinking way too much about Michael, the green-eyed cop who's wrong for her for so many reasons. And yet being with him feels so right. Now the real Gia is keeping secrets of her own alongside her family's. And she's breaking all the rules to get what she wants.

Reviews
." . .mostly a down-to-earth slice of life. . ." Kirkus Reviews, February 1, 2014
"The twinkling backdrop of Manhattan and the budding romance between two opposites will make YA fans adore this novel. The characters are well thought out, adding to the allure of Blumenthal's uncommon storyline." RT Book Reviews, January 18, 2014
"Filled with detailed descriptions of decadent Italian meals, gorgeous clothes, heart-stopping violence, and sweet yet lusty love and desire, Mafia Girl will find a wide variety of readers, some intrigued with the Mob, others seeking a love story." Booklist Online, April 30, 2014
"Gia's rough language and devil-may-care attitude hide a surprisingly naive young woman verging on adulthood. . .Mafia Girl epitomizes the exhortation 'Don't judge a book by its cover' and may well entice older, reluctant readers." VOYA, April 2014
