So I totally don't remember much of anything about The Big Lebowski. I watched it in college, but nothing really stuck with me. This book sounds fantastic, though, despite the lame cover. Bowling ball face? Really? Whatever. Frizzy hair, plus size, sarcastic heroine? I am all over that. Plus, she entertains herself by writing raunchy essays for class. That sounds hilarious.

Synopsis from Goodreads:
With frizzy orange hair, a plus-sized body, sarcastic demeanor, and "unique learning profile," Danielle Levine doesn't fit in even at her alternative high school. While navigating her doomed social life, she writes scathing, self-aware, and sometimes downright raunchy essays for English class. As a result of her unfiltered writing style, she is forced to see the school psychologist and enroll in a "social skills" class. But when she meets Daniel, another social misfit who is obsessed with the cult classic film The Big Lebowski, Danielle's resolve to keep everyone at arm's length starts to crumble.
This Sounds wonderful. I'd never heard of it before. And I kind of like the cover (you know minus the whole thing about the model definitely not being plus-sized).
ReplyDeleteYeah, the model does at least not look stick thin, but she's so not plus-sized.
DeleteUh, I think this is about me. So of course, it sounds awesome.
ReplyDeleteSweet! I want to read about you!
DeleteLol lame cover indeed. Sounds like a good read, though!
ReplyDeleteSo say I!
DeleteI hadn't heard of this one. Thanks for sharing. It's on my TBR list now.
