Add a CommentI didn't like this book at all.It was very strange and some things were hard to follow.
This book begins abruptly. You're thrust immediately into the life of the narrator who's trying to prove too hard that she's above everything but only succeeds in proving how insecure and needy she really is. By the SECOND PAGE it becomes obvious that we've met the boy whom the narrator will fall victim too romantically. Egg calls herself "Boy Proof" because no guys ask her out and her mother feels that the way she dresses and acts will keep her that way. Despite the protagonist's (who's very antagonizing) claims that she's fiercely independent but spends all of her time yearning and pining for the new kid who's smart and cool. I fell in love with Cecil Castellucci after I read the Plain Janes, but as I read each of her books my heart grows thicker and colder to the point where I fear that I'm becoming Castellucci proof.
