the rating is based on 20 year old me re reading the book, because i recall 14 year old me loving it.
20 year old me found the book a bit too unrealistic with many changes in Egg's personality over a too short period of time. i also found it way too predicting and not too exciting or anything.
but 14 year old me loved it. she was sort of like egg, proud since no boys liked her. proud that she wasn't like anyone else with their crushes and almost obsession over the opposite gender. and through this book she understood, not only that there's no such thing as actually being boy proof since boys can actually like you, but might just give up on you since you did not seem interested, but also that change in personality and circumstances and situation is actually possible with a little change in attitude. your own attitude.
now 6 years later, i still appreciate the last lesson. the fact that your own attitude to the world reflects on their attitude to you. if you act as if you hate boys, boys will actually hate you.
but i do recommend this book. it's a short read, and it's certainly no waste of time.
