Questionable?? (Pop fiction or lit fiction)
This book is a little odd but I thought that it was very interesting. It's about a girl who calls herself Egg (after a character from a movie) and says she is boy proof because nobody notices her. She has no friends and she likes it that way, she always knows the answers, no matter what. She has seen her favorite movie, Terminal Earth, at least forty times. She has a shaved head and orange eyebrows and wears a white cloak instead of a coat, just like Egg. Egg from the story is not normal, she is ostracized from the crowd because of her odd looks and magnificent grades. But when a new kid shows up and doesn't seem to care what she looks like, Eggs abnormal world is going into a downward spiral into a normal atmosphere. At first she tries to fight it but when she gives in she realizes that she wasn't happy before but now with friends she is happier than ever. Which makes it even harder when she looses them all to arguments and accusations. Now Egg is trying everything in her power to become normal and get her friends back, she is even going by her given name, Victoria. While she has no friends to speak of, she focuses on her special effects makeup training, just like her dad. In the end Victoria gets her life in order, her friends back, and a boyfriend as a plus.
I thought that this book was a little weird at first but I warmed up to Egg and was rooting for her to get her life together again. She kind of battles the evils of Hollywood when her heroine turns out to be a total you know what, but finds the good in it when an actor helps her get her friends back.
