A review by insertsthwitty
Boy Meets Girl by Meg Cabot
2.0
I found myself on a flight back to London with no book and all the bookshops behind the passport check point, and then I thought - I have my computer with me, why don't I get an easy book to read in a few hours since I have to pick up Stefan Zweig back home for a book club.
The thing is - I like easy books, and I do like romances, and I did like Meg Cabot when I was a teenager. I guess it's a bit unfair to judge a book written more than 10 years ago, but some things I just found jarring enough not to enjoy this book all that much. Fine, these books are supposed to be unrealistic, but some things were a bit rushed (proclamations of love, much?) and the characters were a bit unlikeable. I never did found bulimia very funny after all. It was just a bit forced, is all.
