4 Platypires for Weird Girl and What's His Name
Must love X-Files or have some idea who the hell are Mulder and Scully from the show. Okay maybe I am exaggerating but it does help. Its also one of the reasons why I picked up "Weird Girl and What's His Name" because it was mention in the synopsis. Being a fan of the show I was able to pick up on a lot of the references but even though I liked the show, I thought it was a tad overdone. I got it. Lula and Rory are obsessed with the show and they would use the show as a way to express themselves. Great idea but the delivery at times just sounded like a bunch of ramblings which killed some of the fun. Honestly, it just took away from the story at times.
Now for the story without the OCD ramblings about X-files and the band Guided By Voices was really good. I was really entertain with this coming of age story of Lula & Rory and thought they were really likable characters. I loved the fact they were confused about love and their own identity. Plus dealing with their own family drama isn't an easy task either for any teenager.
I liked the author's writing style and plan on reading more of her work. She has talent with realistic YA fiction that doesn't talk down to teenagers. She makes her characters flawed and relatable which was really refreshing to read.
Overall this was a really good book and I would recommend to readers who enjoy LGBT YA fiction.
