Undiscovered Gyrl: The Novel That Inspired the Movie Ask Me Anything by Allison Burnett
4.0
I found Undiscovered Gyrl to be a very original and strange book in the best way possible. It's one that demands discussion and would be perfect for book clubs. Seriously, if you've read it I really want to talk to you about it, email me!
I was initially attracted to the format of the book which is written to blog posts. I find this style of writing to be very engaging no matter what but the character and author of the blog Katie I found to be really interesting. I really liked her voice, she was really upfront and unapologetic with sharing the details of her life as far as we could tell. I wouldn't say she's easy to like but somehow I liked her, I probably wouldn't be friends with her but she was entertaining!
I had heard there was something big to the ending of the book so I admittedly sped through to find out what the big deal was. And while it wasn't the kind of big deal ending I had imagined it really got me thinking. I've talked to several people about it and we all see it a little differently which I find utterly fascinating. I really wonder what the author's intent with the ending was. I'm still thinking about it a week later!
And in case you hadn't realized the author is a man. I think he pulled off writing in a teenage girl's voice very well. Overall a really interesting book that begs to be discussed.
