A Girl Named Digit by Annabel Monaghan
4.0
I'm not sure how I feel about this book. There were three different "sections": one super-cool puzzle-solving one, a rather annoying overarching mystery/thriller, and a love story.
The "Digit" details were fascinating. It's amazing to see people transform something indecipherable into something meaningful. While Digit definitely had some issues (OCD? Anxiety?), it was nice to see her grow into her own skin and own up to her AWESOMENESS. I was positively surprised by the Fab Four (especially Olive), too.
The mystery part was predictable. I knew what was going to happen pretty early on. It was frustrating to see them running around in New York.
As for the love story, I'm almost indifferent. Their relationship escalated so quickly (uh, almost-Stockholm Syndrome?), and was by far the most serious aspect of the novel. I can see why they'd make a good pair though. Also, wouldn't they make the most brilliant babies in the world?!
