The It Girl by Katy Birchall

4.0

 I enjoyed this book so much when I read it as a tween. Upon reread, it’s not as great and very formulaic, but back when I was the target audience this was a great book. Ironically, I vividly remember reading about that one girl wearing a bandana thing and going to the laser gun thing (which I didn’t know so I envisioned it as just a shooting range) but it wasn’t even an actual scene in the book, it was just mentioned, so that’s pretty funny. 

 This book was pretty clearly dated by having Marvel comics as an obscure thing, because nowadays everyone knows who Iron Man and Stan Lee are, that’s not a super niche nerdy thing anymore. The Lord of the Rings reference was a bit much tho, that really skirted close to “I’m not like other girls”, but that’s really just what you sign up for with books like these
