Love comic books!! I truly appreciate stories with a unique slant and this one sounds like it has one. I can see this book being passed around by a group of my students who soak up romances the way I remember doing at their age. Cannot keep enough romances on my shelves. I don't read many now, but this sounds like one that I would definitely put in my TBR pile.Tricia C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16456091638853519916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-43004972637928274112013-03-05T11:37:21.518-05:002013-03-05T11:37:21.518-05:00It's only the best of 80s pop culture, and I d...It's only the best of 80s pop culture, and I didn't really feel like the rest of it felt antiquated at all.<br /><br />For real.

I'm not a huge fan of 80s culture, but the adorableness and the raw feels of this one might just compensate for that.<br /><br />"I love that their first encounter is so awful, and how unflattering Park's first thoughts are. So much of high school is about avoiding embarrassment, and the awkward new girl is just that. This portrayal is so honest."<br /><br />True. So much of YA seems to almost... romanticize HS and I'm like, ha, please, where did you go to HS? Cause it's bloody awkward a majority of the time.Christina Reads YAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937783114868207494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-26676961433789104602013-03-04T12:02:22.381-05:002013-03-04T12:02:22.381-05:00Very much bloody adorable!
