It does look rather like it, doesn't it?! Well, as something to do when you hate school, it's not a bad idea, but I'm not sure about doing it where there are people walking about...
I have heard some good things about it, from people who are comfirmed Meg Cabot fans though - I haven't read it, as I decided I would try to wait until the library gets it in instead.
Someone does seem about to prod her with a booted foot. Also it seems from the text that it's drawn from life, so I don't know if it's ethical for Ms Cabot to do so...
I simply can't see what on earth else it might be meant to represent. And yet, she can't really have said that when her friend hated school she masturbated near a mysterious boot and let her friend sketch the experience?
I didn't talk to anyone about that kind of thing until I was at university, and then it was with a friend who apparently used her foot. Maybe they were all much less inhibited at Meg Cabot's school.
I'm now wondering whether the foot entering stage left is some kind of commentary from someone suggesting an alternative method. Oh dear.
