Sexually frank, often heartbreaking, and bursting with devilish humor,
Undiscovered Gyrl is an extraordinarily accomplished novel of identity, voyeurism, and deceit.
"Imagine an 18-year-old Lolita, updated for the 21st century, blogging her own provocative adventures. By turns charming and crude, disturbingly reckless and achingly tender,
Undiscovered Gyrl seduces you into her downy arms, locks her long legs around your waist, and doesn t let go." — Rachel Resnick, author of

The son of author Anne Rice and the late poet Stan Rice, he lives in Los Angeles. Read his exclusive Amazon guest review of Undiscovered Gyrl: 
Undiscovered Gyrl is the blog of beautiful, blond, Katie Kampenfelt, an 18-year-old girl who seeks to record, for her own edification, the year following her high school graduation.
The novel begins as the diary of an ebullient, funny teenager, filled with the musings, mood swings, and escapades of youth. We are in her skin as she plots her break-up with her college-age boyfriend, battles with her mother, considers whether to sleep with a 32-year-old film professor, confronts a terrible truth about her new boss, and lands a new job as nanny to a newborn.
Soon, however, the story deepens into the engrossing record of a young soul in peril.
Gossip Girl this ain’t.
Allison Burnett s novel reads as both a searing glimpse into a tortured teenage psyche, and a skillful meditation on the cruel excesses of the Internet Age. Katie Kampenfelt s voice feels utterly authentic, disturbingly so, making for a protagonist who is as riveting as she is infuriating.
The story is revealed through a series of terse blog entries, but they are studded with haunting imagery and unforgettable turns of phrase. Ultimately, this is the dark tale of one girl s unquenchable thirst for love and acceptance, but Allison Burnett tells it with a fearlessness that elevates those time-worn concepts above the realm of Hollywood cliché.
Prepare yourself for a page-turning, single-sitting read that will leave you disarmed and disturbed and questioning your own engagement with the Internet s capacity for anonymity and fantasy.--Christopher Rice
