Gingerbread by Rachel Cohn

3.0

A while back I read Weetzie Bat and disliked it more than I expected to. Gingerbread sort of reminds me of that book: cool if somewhat eccentric girl living a seemingly charmed California life, weird names, interesting friends and serious issues that don't always pop up in YA. Fortunately, this book wasn't nearly as short or WTF-inducing. It was funny and clever and tackled the tough stuff in a realistic manner I found refreshing. Enjoyable start to what's looking to be quite a fun trilogy.
