Search - Why Girls Are Weird

The first chapter had me in stitches -- oh my! Yes, I did strange things with my Barbie dolls, so I could totally relate. The rest of the book was up and down, but overall I liked it. The "tiny wooden hand" story made me laugh, but it was the stinky feet that had me crying.

I enjoyed this book overall - heck, the cover has always made me laugh not to mention the title. (My sister says that it's an appropriate book for me, a weirdo, to read.)

There were definitely several interesting things going on in this book! It had a lot of slow sections (in the way that I tend to find all true chick lit slow) but at the same time I always wanted to know what was going to happen. The fact that this was written by someone who experienced some of the first moments of internet fame herself made a lot of difference, I think - it gave the book a little extra edge, and I could see a lot of the plot actually happening. People on the internet can certainly be a little larger than their real lives, in ways just like the ones that come up here.

I wonder how I would have felt about this book if I'd read it when it first came out. It's wild how fast the internet has seeped into our lives. A few years ago I'd never met anyone in real life who I'd first met online, and online dating seemed sketchy at best, but now those things are totally normal. Just when exactly was it that things like the events portrayed in this book started to seem like they could easily happen? I'm not even sure, which is what I meant about the internet moving in at a "fast seep."

And as for the story itself, like I said, slow but I still wanted to know the rest. I liked Anna, liked LDobler and Smith. Actually I wanted to know more about the other characters besides Anna, especially LDobler. The pop culture references were fun too.

I really liked this book - It is tempting to call it chick lit, but I found the main character more realistic than in your typical chick lit book. The main character seemed very human to me, and made mistakes that were easy to relate to. I think this author really has a unique style.

Enjoyable and funny book - very true-to-life.

So I expecting to love this book immediately, from all the glowing reviews.
And I did love this book- it just took a few entries to warm up.

I loved it so much that I found myself rolling on the couch laughing-
and thats really rare for me. I am not a pity laugher.

Read this book-
It is funny, and well written. The Characters are like-able (Dale is perfect!)
Don't be fooled- it is still Chick-lit, but it is what I wish more chick-lit was like.

Oh, and a word of advice-
Wear your Depends!

This was a decent book. It wasn't as good as her other book, Why Mom's are weird.
