Lonely Werewolf Girl by Martin Millar
5.0

I admit that this is not high literature and that I've added it to my all-time-favorites shelf alongside such books as Housekeeping and Dangerous Liaisons. Lonely Werewolf Girl is no Housekeeping. Oh but how I loved it.

Those of you who have talked to me in the past month or so that I've been reading this book know that I will take the smallest lull in conversation to proselytize my friends in the way of the awesomeness of Lonely Werewolf Girl.

I determined after about 70 pages that the reason I was able to read a 500+ page book while my brain is that egg in a frying pan (this is your brain on teaching) was that the book is kind of like a TV melodrama. Each chapter is but a few pages long and each follows a different character. It's just like watching Grey's Anatomy: first a scene with characters A and B, then a scene with characters C and D, then characters A and C, and so on as the plot becomes more complex and the story lines intertwine.

Also, the book is completely ridiculous and caused me to laugh aloud a lot. And read things to Jeff, lying next to me in bed.

Go. Read. Be happier.
