I love how the main character is one of the populars in school because in most of bully romances the female main character is usually an introvert. And Misha feels like he never knew her at all. Because Ryen is not as humble as she had presented herself in her letters, she’s actually everything she told him she despises: popular and basically a bitch. Until we met.” is a sentence that describes this book the best. Only Ryen doesn’t know Masen is actually Misha. But when a new guy Masen comes to Ryen’s school, she can no longer hold a perfect image of herself to the public, because he does everything he can to torment and embarass her. Until a tragic accident happens and suddenly, Misha stops replying. And they had been inseparable since then, sending letters and telling each other everything even though they’ve never met. Punk 57 is a story of Ryen and Misha, two friends who mistakenly got joined as pen-pals when they were children. Or right under my nose, and I wouldn’t even know it. I should’ve gotten his number or picture or something. Did he die? Get arrested? Knowing Misha, neither would be a stretch.

Name’s Ryen, loves Gallo’s pizza, and worships her iPhone. Until I run across a photo of a girl online. No social media, no phone numbers, no pictures. She’s the only one who keeps me on track, talks me down, and accepts everything I am. Sometimes there’s one a week or three in a day, but I need them.

It didn’t take long for us to figure out the mistake. My teacher, believing Ryen was a boy like me, agreed. Thinking I was a girl, with a name like Misha, the other teacher paired me up with her student, Ryen. In fifth grade, my teacher set us up with pen pals from a different school. I can’t help but smile at the words in her letter.
