i've resolved to pick up a faster pace for the next two volumes. indeed.
I am somewhat torn on my rating. Half-way through the book it was five stars, no question, then I feel that it started to become a bit repetitive but it was generally still SO FUN. I enjoyed the positive ending. Her refusal to worry about believe-ability bothered me occasionally, but generally it worked. Most importantly, she tackled many assumptions about femininity, females and feminism itself in a humorous and poignant way. I dug it, plain and simple. My Favorite Quote: "In school, they would tell you that life wouldn’t come to you; you had to go out and make it your own. But when it came to love, the message for girls seemed to be this: Don’t. Don’t go after what you want. Wait. Wait to be chosen, as if only in the eye of another could one truly find value. The message was confusing and infuriating. It was a shell game with no actual pea under the rapidly moving cups."
Very cute! Quick read - I am looking forward to the next ones!
