How to Ditch Your Fairy by Justine Larbalestier
4.0
The mix of Australian and American cultures with a few twists of Justine's own was a nice touch. It was close enough to the States to seem familiar, yet enough of Australia to be exotic... while keeping believable. Also, the slang was excellent.
The last chapter, 45, was completely ridiculous to me. I mean, she just randomly happens to get a fairy that acts as a supernatural steroid for basketball? Um, oooookay. How? And why?
I suppose you could say it just worked out too well for one chapter.
The writing was decent, actually quite good for the whole 1st-person-teenage-girl scene.
Not heavy on the mind and not much to ponder after, but a good light quick read. Enjoyable, but not completely satisfying.
