I just finished reading this book yesterday, and literally cried and cussed because it was over.
Yup. It's officially one of those books that I was dreading the end of. Not because it was going to be bad, but because it was going to be OVER.
I laughed out loud while I read this book. Like, literally, until tears were running down my face, and I'd woken my husband up. And I also cringed outwardly. Seriously, some of the things the main character, Maggie, goes through are so...incredibly...ME. There were times when I swear to Gaya (inside joke...more on that another day) I thought Liza Palmer was listening to my inner dialogue and putting it onto paper. There is a scene where Maggie is watching her crush move about the coffee shop, and it sounded exactly like my way of thinking. Or when she is at the gym with her mom (I literally just snorted out loud while I was thinking about that scene.) it was hysterical. I had to call my mother right then and there to implore her to read this book.
"Read. This. Book." I said.
Hopefully, she (and YOU) will soon. The language is harsh, but it didn't bother me, as my inner dialogue is cursing like a trucker all of the time. But, the story....*sigh* Oh, the story. It will inspire you and make you laugh and make you want to believe in yourself, instead of being someone's "project".
I beg of you
: GO GET THIS BOOK NOW. LIKE, SERIOUSLY.

P.S. I just had to add: Liza Palmer is a kick a** woman, too. She led a workshop I was at and she literally made me laugh until my sides hurt. No, really. I want her to be my new best friend, but I am sure she put out a restraining order on me instead. She is the writer of MY own personal generation.
