Get ready to laugh your pants off with Evie and the other cast of characters in this excellent book.
My likes:
- That it is told in Evie's point of view and it is a hilarious point of view
- Evie is a compelling character that had me laughing out loud during some of her scenes
- Her ramblings when she gets super nervous
- I love that she is a planner and loves to-do lists even though her main one was cut short
- Her sisters
My Dislikes
Not a whole lot of dislikes with this book. Some of the characters I didn't care for, but they weren't meant to be liked. Like Rodney, what a major jerk. Leigh wasn't that good either.
Five Stars
Everything Girl by Emily Mayer is a great book that I am glad that I got the chance to read. This story is excellent, the characters are well developed, and the author has a fabulous sense of humor. I loved every single moment of it.
Excerpt
"And then. And then. In a moment that would probably haunt me for the rest of my life, I asked the question that was tumbling around inside my head, the one from moments earlier in the kitchen.
"Do chickens lay eggs? I mean, obviously, I know where eggs come from, even though we don't have a lot of chickens in the city." I laughed uncomfortably before I plowed on, fully committed now. "Although, I read somewhere that urban farming is getting really popular now since people are all of a sudden so concerned about where their food comes from. Plus, you know, organic is like an entire movement now. And chickens are the obvious choice. I mean for urban farming. Because they don’t require a lot of space, and people living in cities don't really have big backyards, or any backyards at all. So anyway, I know roosters are boys and nature's alarm clock”—I gave an awkward chuckle—“but is a hen different than a chicken?"
His eyes widened briefly, as if trying to fully absorb all the crazy I had just hurled his way without warning. Then he blinked slowly—once, twice, a third time. Every blink sent a fresh wave of shame crashing over me."
