Title: Wait for the movie version
Review: I picked up this book after recalling how much I had enjoyed "Teenage Romance: How to Die of Embarrassment" as a teen. I put down the book after reading about half of it, and I'm not sure when (or if) I'll pick it up again. It reads more like a plot outline for a film, not a novel. The characters are defined only by their actions, and the actions they take are thrust upon the reader without much reflection. Some of the humor works, though most is forced. Maybe I'd like the book more if I liked Lilly; she's ditzy, condenscending, and hmmm. Why go on? This is a summer beach read -- I'm surprised it isn't in paperback.
Is the review positive or negative?
