Whaddya know? I actually did it.

This book is that friend you had in high school that one day you said Seriously, dude, not everything has to be funny as he tries to make an inappropriate joke about the Holocaust and then after that, you don’t hang out that much anymore and you know what, you don’t even mind that much.

I don’t understand being in love with someone based solely on their looks. I guess, since I am not beautiful, it’s an alien concept to me. But it’s also boring. In the back pages, in the notes by the author section to make the book book-clubbable, author goes on about how he’s subverting tropes and the girls in the book have depth. Firstly, he describes them as girls. Then what is their depth? We know that one is poor, one is the daughter of a sleazy lawyer, one is fat. That’s not depth. Depth is what is your favourite piece of classical music and why? How much one weighs hardly counts as depth.

This is a book for geeky boys who wanted hot girls.

I am a geeky girl.

I never had much interest in hot girls.

Ergo….
