Nothing is beyond Kristi Carmichael’s disdain—her hippie high school, her friend Jacob, her workaholic mom. Yet for all her attitude and her mind-reading abilities, Kristi has a vulnerable side. She can hear the thoughts of her fellow students, calling her fat and gross. She’s hot for Gusty Peterson, one of the most popular guys in school, but of course, she’s sure he thinks she is disgusting. And she’s still mad at her father, who walked out on them two years ago. Soon, a school project brings her together with Gusty, her father comes home and drops a bombshell, and a friend comes out of the closet, and suddenly she is left doubting that she can read people at all.Bitingly funny but ultimately poignant and positive, this YA novel is completely on the mark.

I more than most can understand that being an offbeat teenager can make you feel isolated and vulnerable and desperate all at the same time. With so many books about popular kids using and abusing their equally popular cronies or dorky kids managing to infiltrate the ranks of the cool, its nice to read a book about teens just being teens and learning to love themselves by accepting who they are.For Kristi Carmichael listening to opera music, playing stealth practical jokes, making her own foundA friend passed this book off to me. I'm a YA author and have been reading an abundance of YA these days. Based on the pile I've read lately, I'd call this average with a lot of missed potential. Note: Spoilers below. Pros: -The narrative was simple and descriptive at the same time. I didn't find myself getting caught up in the writing or feeling bogged down by unnecessary details. -Kristi's voice felt believable and appropriately angsty for her age. -Mallory. By far the most realistic male
[There's] one... thing I can tell you about human nature: beautiful people are the last ones you want to befriend. Beautiful people float through life thinking that it's perfectly normal for others to gaze at them adoringly, and open doors for them, and defer to their opinion... Doesn't anyone understand that beautiful people are stupid? That's why nature made them beautiful, so they'd have a chance at surviving in the wild. And how do they survive? They use people and then they drop people, and
If you liked this book, don't read my review because you will probably want to shoot me. But I've got a rant coming on, and there's nothing I can do to stop it:The main character was impressively unpleasant. I felt like I was being forced to hang out with a miserable, spiteful, self-pitying stereotype. The way everyone judged her was so forced- like, "And now, to make you feel sympathetic for my main character, I'm going to make everybody else in the book suck." Maybe I'm being naieve. I don't
I have had this book for about 6 years going on seven and i find myself coming back to it. Not because of the writing style or the character development, but because it shows me to look deeper into things such as people and their motives. I absolutely loved this book since day despite the overused personalities of the characters and the poor writing style.
I really love Amy's Sky Chaser series but I couldn't even finish listening to the audio book of this one. The narrator plays a large factor in that (really whiny, and I think she forgot which character had a lisp because she would go in and out of lisping no matter which character she was portraying.)The MC is awful, she sets traps so that people slip and fall or get pelted with dirt in their eyes and then rushes over to help them so then they praise her. She's really judgemental and I can't be
I was definitely a litle skeptical when I picked this book up, but I have to say I was really impressed. I love the main character. She seems like the total epitome of a confused teen, faults and all, but she is still so endearing and relatable. I love Gusty, Mallory, Hildie, and Eva, and even the gay best friend Flax. They are just all so totally... themselves! I think the author did great at characterization, and maybe less great on the actual story line. I would have liked to have gotten more
