My rating: 5 of 5 stars
“Love isn’t roses. It’s those little square caramels and a root beer from the gas station because he knows that’s your favorite snack. It’s watching a musical with you without groaning. It’s handing you your glasses at night because he knows you’re too blind to find your way to the bathroom without them. Love is awkward.”
Well,I started this New Year reading, "The story of Awkward" and I couldn't have picked a better book to start the year with. It had a lot of good stuff that I like; nerdiness, fairy-tales, romance and quotable quotes. I really got sucked into the story because I related so much with the main character Perri. Perri, the artist who drew a completely different world where awkwardness was accepted. Seriously, who hasn't thought of another world to escape to when real life got to be to tough and hard. I really enjoyed reading this story and I'm glad I read it. I couldn't help but smile when this book ended but also kinda sad that there wasn't more. Anyways, I can't wait to read more from R.K. Ryals.
This year I am starting to rate books based on diversity. I give The Story of Awkward a C+. Without giving a way spoilers a minor character has a mental illness. But I do want to add that this story is all about acceptance of people who are different. I feel that by that alone should give the story at least a B for diversity.
