Helpful Score: 1

Let me start by saying that this book is not "chick-lit", however it's very interesting and had me glued to the pages the whole plane trip. Carrie is a child genius who skipped three grades in school and ended up in college at 15. Because she was rarely with her age group, she never learned to interact socially. She tries to apply logic and reason to all her relationships, with poor results. The book is about her at 19 and her journey towards finding out how to interact with people and to make friends, as well as how to give her life meaning. It has a slow start, but Carrie grows on you and you end up rooting her on as she searches for a way to reconcile her oh-so-logical mind and her heart's need for human relationships.
