Minx. I had serious issues with what Emi does - she copies out diary entries of the young trapped suburban mother she's babysitting for, and turns that woman's pain into performance art in order to impress a bunch of sleazy disaffected hipsters. She never owns to her dishonesty, and while there are happy endings all round, it just doesn't sit right with me.

A cute and fun story about a girl exploring her identity. Part Cinderella, part underdog story, all adorable. The romance was a little bit cliched (when you have a character admiring a female performer, and performing pieces about lesbians, I couldn't help but hope it might be a bit less conventional than her falling for the male nerd!) but I enjoyed the story.
