And then one day you will look for you in the mirror and youll no longer be able to identify yourself - youll only see everyone else. Youll know that you did what they wanted you to do. You will have assimilated. And you will hate yourself for it, because it will be too late. This was exactly what I needed to read right now. As a fan of Quick's other novels, this book feels both comfortingly familiar, but also different in many ways. Nanette O'Hare is the kind of misfit we would expect from theI feel like I'm giving every good book I come across 5 stars these days because I'm hardly finding any that I want to really get into. But this was exactly the book I needed right now. Gravely. So it earned the privilege of getting 5 stars. Well, theres the type of person who says there are certain types of people and then tries to be one type or the other. And then there are others who say bananas to the whole concept of types and wont allow themselves to be filed neatly away under some sort of
I feel kind of terrible for rating this book low. But despite how short it is, I was really bored and found it particularly bland:- The main character has almost no personality. She's also very stuck-up- The romance is bland. Terrible. Boring. Unnecessary- Look, I get the message the author is trying to tell us about how sometimes you just feel like quitting and there's no shame in doing so (and a few other things that I've conveniently forgotten) but the issues that the MC is facing doesn't
You could say this is a standard Matthew Quick book. Misfits are his specialty. Yet, even though the subjects matter of the story are well-trodden (by Quick himself too) - bullying, loneliness, depression, obsession with a work of literature - Nanette's experiences affected me. Maybe because Quick touches here upon something that YA doesn't explore enough - the very real challenges of being an introvert in an extrovert-dominated world.Because Nanette's problems are so peculiar to her closed-off
Theres something about Matthew Quicks writing that just speaks to me. Wow, I sound so dramatic but honestly, its like he understands and knows how to explain confusion. I know a lot of people would dislike this book and I can totally understand why. Nanette is a confused teenager nearing her final months of school and she is absolutely lost. But at times she comes off as stuck-up and ungrateful and hella melodramatic. Yet, I relate to her so much. I feel like this coming of age novel is the
I was on quite a roll this yearI hadn't read a single book I hadn't liked. Then, of course, I eventually came across the quintessential "oh so very special white girl who has everything but is still discontent" book. I liked Silver Lining Playbook. I liked Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock. I don't know what Matthew Quick was going for with this book, but he missed the mark with me.This felt like a desperate attempt at guessing what a teenage girl might sound like if you'd chatted with one over
A book for the quiet rebels among us who don't want to go to prom, or to do what's expected just because other people tell us it's for the best.This one surprised me. Really, really wonderful.
