Treasure Island!!! by Sara Levine
3.0

Clever and funny quick read. A truly awful protagonist, a narcissistic young woman who becomes obsessed with Treasure Island, spends her boss' savings on a parrot (which she then can't stand and is quite awful to), and treats her friends and family with self-obsessed contempt. Interesting send-up of the literature-as-self-help motif so popular lately, as well as a bit of a mash-up of Douglas Coupland and, say, Sophie Kinsella - the mind boggles.
