We Thought You Would Be Prettier: True Tales of the Dorkiest Girl Alive by Laurie Notaro

3.0

Liked it and didn't like it. Some parts were quite funny and I found myself laughing at loud quite a few times near the beginning of the book. But then that ended and it lost something. The numerous pop culture references were amusing, but would have been much funnier if I had read them closer to the publication date. Which means the more time that goes by, the more the book loses a big part of it. There were definitely parts that I, or any woman, could relate to; but there's nothing really memorable about this book. I'd give it two-and-a-half stars, rounded up to three because it made me laugh in the beginning.
