Why Girls Are Weird : A Novel

Just finished it and ran (well not really, I am on crutches) downstairs to get Why Moms are Weird thinking it was a sequel, but it is not.

It took me a while to get into the book. Not that it was hard to read but for me it was not laughing out loud although I did recognise some of the barbie stuff. ;), but when she wrote about the IM session, that got me started.

This is just a fun read, especially nice to read during summers while lying on the beach. :)

So far, I'm very in love with this book, and I've only gone as far as the second chapter. Of course, I fall in love with most books at first, and its the really not always love at the end.Funny, insightful, good character development. Keep ya posted.Yeah, the ending was predictable, but still, the book was fantastic. There were blurbs and essays that really reminded me of my first internet friend, Jenny. The boob essay especially, reverbated with both her voice and mine. Its with narcisstic love that I recommend this book. I saw myself in so much of this book, and not in an unflattering way, so of course its the best thing ever. I love it when you get a book, and its something of a little echo from you or your own life. Being able to show more identify with the main character in such a funny, cynically pleasing way is awesome. show less

Really enjoyed this. Great, smart, conversational style. Fun plot.

This book was great. It grabbed me right from the beginning with a not quite PG-rated missive about Barbie dolls. The characters were believable and easy to relate to. The situations were 100% realistic (which I find rather rare in books that talk about the Internet). And if you've ever been 25 and lost and lonely, something in this book will speak to you.

A fast, fun read. A pleasingly, cutely romantic story about figuring out what you want in life and all the crap you have to go through to do it. Funny and biting, in the good way. A little implausable in places, but forgivable.

A book about a blog, in the early times of the blog. It's funny and original in the set up but the storyline is very "chick lit". #3 Girl & Boy break up, Girl can't get over him, does something radical, meets new Boy, Complications ensue, Happy End.

A reread: found this while I was unpacking. So this woman starts writing a blog, but claims to still be dating her ex-boyfriend. And she meets some of her blog-readers, and everything is awkward and weird. It's pretty amusing, but I'm kind of over the "omg, New Yorkers are all so quirky!" thing.
