It was an okay book. Anna is superannoying at times. Shes naive and feels younger than 14 a lot of the time. But the story was okay, even if it was a bit predictable.

"The only only other times he's had to 'sit me down to talk' about something was when I signed him up to a dating website because I didn't like his girlfriend at the time and he got all these suspicious emails that made her cry, and when I threw a pork pie at his head because he gave my Marvel comic book encyclopedia to a second hand bookshop and I happened to be holding a pork pie when he told me."

Jokseenkin stereotyyppinen kirja yläasteelaiselle. Tarina on välillä hauska, välillä siinä on liikaa yritystä ja väkisin väännettyjä vitsejä. Suomennos on valitettavan täynnä anglismeja, jotka ensimmäisen kymmenen sivun aikana ajavat lukijan lähes hulluuden partaalle. Omituista kyllä tähänkin tottuu kirjan edetessä. Taidan yrittää seuraavaakin osaa, mutta mielummin alkuperäiskielellä.

This book is very lighthead and simple but its not amazings. Do not expect it to win lots of awards.

I flew through this book! I just absolutely loved it! As the slightly awkward, slightly nerdy person I am it was so easy to relate to Anna. The summary is absolutely right, I'm a huge fan of the Geek Girl series and when I was a bit younger I loved Louise Rennison's Georgia Nicholson novels and this book did remind me of them in a lot of places, probably more Geek Girl than Georgia Nicholson though.
Anna was an immensely likable character, I loved her so much, and as I said before she's incredibly relateable. Her life gets turned upside down and her reactions are hilarious. Like with all good funny books, there are some heartwarming moments, and for me as a twenty year old this book reminded me a lot of my school life (and gave warm fuzzies), so it's definitely not just a book for kids or young teens.
I'd recommend this to anyone, the writing is easy and it's a quick read, but it's also mature and not too twee, something I hate in books that span both YA and children's fiction.
I gave this book 4 stars on Goodreads.
