What I wanted to initially do with this review is just make it a series of fake Tweets. However, since I don’t think I can limit my thoughts for the entire review to 150 characters or less. I’ll only be making the headers for this review faux Tweets. And be using a lot of K-Drama gifs because it’...

"The more time I spent with her, the more immune I became to the hot mess that she looked. Not even a hot mess, which implied some kind of hotness, just a mess."That phrase totally works for both, Jeane and this book.Jeane is adorkable. What is that? Well....It's being weird + being really strong mi...
There's more to life than reading, but it's a good place to start
I have spent all week cleaning up vomit. Most of it canine. Some, I'd hazard to guess, feline. Sadly this is just the way the cookie crumbles when your pets get into the garbage. All there is left to do is shrug and grab the mop. Again. This is really not my favourite pet-care chore. In fact, it's m...

I'm pretty sure we all know the quote, "We read to know we are not alone," by C.S. Lewis. That sums up what this book means to me. This book is the closest that has ever come to being a reflection of me and my life up to now. It is so relatable, and when I find books like that, I start crying. Needl...

the female lead makes the top of my list for most unlikable female characters. if this book was trying to send the cliched "be yourself" message it failed miserably the female lead (Jane?) criticized the "cool people" for acting superior while she was doing the exact same thing just in a more obnoxi...

Adorkable is one of those sneaky synopsis stories. You know the type – take the familiar formula, tweek it a little bit, lull unsuspecting readers with a promise of something formulistic and fluffy and then BAM! Falcon punch straight in the feels!It’s shocking what it can do to a hardened cynic.From...

Adorkable by Sarra Manning is one of those books that I have to talk about in two stages. The first stage would be about the plot in itself- characters, relationship and summer read. The second would be about the whole blog sphere.So, Jeane and Mike go to the same high school they are both in a rela...

After reading the first page, containing the Adorkable Manifesto, I was hooked. Jeane is a girl after my own heart: a quirky, argumentative, obsessive tweeter/blogger with unique fashion choices found at jumble sales (though I wouldn’t say I go quite as far as she does). Her snark and wit kept me in...

More of a 2.5 stars.Adorkable was 70% dorky boring and 30% adorable. I was really excited about this book and all about badgered Jessie to read it with me and you can check out her review here. I mean, have you read the blurb? 17 year old dorky teenager, blogger extraordinaire, " an innovator and a ...

Jeane has always been the weird girl at school. Her hair is often the result of failed dye jobs, she wears second hand clothes, the previous owner of which may or may not have had an incontinence problem. She stands out and is proud of it, but she is shunned by her classmates. That has never been a...
