The Basic Eight by Daniel Handler

5.0

While it would be really easy to compare this book to HEATHERS, there's something some much more complex with what Handler is trying to do. The narrator's own comments on her veracity make this a critque on the nature of "true crime" books and autobiography as much as it seems a commentary about the nature of teenage life and romance. And it never gets too bogged down in it's own self-importance. I really enjoyed this one.
