Christa Comes Out of Her Shell by Abbi Waxman
2.0
christa comes out of her shell...because christa is shy and also studying snails...i see what you did there.
if only this had more snails.
unfortunately this book was over the top ridiculous and utterly forced. it was filled with nonsense jokes, flat characters, an ill-advised romance, a made-up career, inconsistent characterization, villainous recurring extras, a child’s understanding of business, and a corny plot.
i didn’t have fun and in fact grew increasingly annoyed.
in spite of the title, christa is neither shy nor seemingly all that knowledgeable about snails. i would have appreciated either if it meant she either shut up for a minute or talked about shelled creatures instead of indulging in more of her infuriatingly quirky internal monologue.
but no luck.
bottom line: i don't know what just happened, but i didn't like it.
